NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan plants trees to launch the program to plant 1 million trees in Vietnam.

The event, jointly held by the Vietnam Environment Administration and Vietnam Dairy Products JSC (Vinamilk), is part of a program to plant 1 million trees in Vietnam.

The program project aims to encourage different economic sectors to participate in environmental protection, especially in planting, managing and protecting trees, in order to improve air quality in cities and provinces. Nearly 100,000 trees worth nearly 40,000 USD were planted at the national trig point and several coastal areas of Ca Mau, in an effort to deal with drought and saltwater intrusion.

Chairwoman Ngan presented gifts to disadvantaged children in Ca Mau.

After the session, Chairwoman Ngan and leaders of Ca Mau province gave milk valued at almost 20,000 USD to more than 700 local students, together with 100 scholarships to disadvantaged students in the province.
