According to a VNA reporter in Tokyo, on October 17, Mr. Watanabe Hiroyuki - Chairman of the Aeon 1% Club Foundation - visited the Vietnamese Embassy in Japan to present cash aid equivalent to 50,000 USD to support Vietnamese people affected by the recent storms No. 10 and 11.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Watanabe Hiroyuki said: "The damage to people and property caused by natural disasters in Vietnam is very serious. Aeon and the Aeon 1% Club Foundation, as a business doing business in Vietnam, wish to contribute to help Vietnamese victims of natural disasters overcome the consequences and soon stabilize their lives."

Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Pham Quang Hieu speaks at the ceremony to receive the support from the Aeon 1% Club Foundation.

In response to the sentiments of Japanese friends, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Vietnam to Japan Pham Quang Hieu highly appreciated the gesture and practical support of the Aeon Group in general and the Aeon 1% Club Fund in particular, and hoped that Aeon would become a source of inspiration and a model for Japanese enterprises operating in Vietnam.
