Delivering the opening remarks, Ms. Ha Thanh, Chairwoman of HUFO, underscored that foreign non-governmental organizations constitute an important source of support, contributing financial resources, human capital, and international experience. These contributions, she noted, have effectively supported social welfare efforts, while cooperative activities have also helped strengthen the bonds of friendship between the Vietnamese people and international partners.
According to a report by HUFO, in 2025, a total of 112 foreign NGOs were operating in Ho Chi Minh City, including 44 organizations from the Americas, 38 from Europe, and 30 from the Asia-Pacific region. Their programs and projects have focused on key areas such as healthcare, education, social protection, community development, and environmental protection.
The total value of committed aid reached approximately VND401 billion (US$15.2 million), comprising 20 approved projects and 12 non-project grants.
On this occasion, HUFO presented certificates of merit to representatives of foreign non-governmental organizations in recognition of their positive and meaningful contributions in recent years.
