Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan will hand over gifts to poor families which served during the country’s revolutionary wars in the north-western provinces of Dien Bien and Lai Chau during her visit to the areas from July 13-15.

Previously, the Vice President gave 200 million VND and 960 cans of powdered milk to local poor family households, which were hard hit by floods, said the Vietnamese Red Cross.

The move is just one of many activities to mark the anniversary of War Invalids and Fallen Combatants' Day, July 27./.
