China will provide financial aid to Vietnam following severe typhoon and flood damage, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Monday.
Spokesperson Mao Ning told a daily news briefing that China has observed recent casualties and property losses in multiple areas of Vietnam due to the disasters, News.Az reports, citing Xinhua.
