This donation reflects Sunwah’s commitment to supporting Vietnam, particularly Lao Cai Province, in recovering from the damage caused by the natural disasters.

Sunwah Group has also paid special attention to expanding investment and economic cooperation in Lao Cai Province in recent years. Earlier this year, Sunwah signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Lao Cai Province’s Department of Commerce to develop a smart logistics platform, export-import activities, investment attraction, and many more. Accordingly, Sunwah has organized several delegations consisting of enterprises from various provinces in China to Lao Cai to explore investment opportunities and develop local infrastructure. The exchanges between Sunwah representatives and Lao Cai leaders have promised to bring about many opportunities for cooperation in investment and logistics, contributing to the province’s economic and social development.
