France’s Cergy city helps Hue overcome flood aftermaths

As Hue city and other central localities of Vietnam are suffering severe consequences from the most serious natural disasters in many years, the cooperative relationship between Hue and France’s Cergy city has become an important source of support. From local authorities and cultural–social organisations to the Vietnamese community in France, all have taken coordinated action to promptly help the former imperial capital of Vietnam overcome its difficulties. This year, the “Festival of Solidarity” (Festival de la Solidarité), which has been held regularly for the past 25 years to promote peace, friendship, and cultural diversity, took place as Hue - Cergy’s sister city since 2018 - is grappling with the heavy aftermaths of floods.
