Hanoi (VNA) - Some 702 solar lanterns have been provided to the northern Yen Bai province by Panasonic in an integrated environmental event jointly organised by Vietnam Environment Administration and World Vision International Vietnam.
Panasonic’s global 100 Thousand Solar Lanterns project reached Vietnam for the first time in 2015, with 630 solar lanterns donated to Dien Bien province.
Similar devices will also be given to Thanh Hoa province this year, bringing the total number of lanterns donated to the country to 1,632.
