Tran Ngoc Tang, President of the Viet Nam Red Cross, made the commitment at a Viet Nam-Laos-Cambodia Red Cross Leaders' Meeting in HCM City last Saturday.
Tang said co-operation between the three countries' associations had contributed to improving the living conditions of people in border provinces.
During the past four years of work in the field, the Viet Nam Red Cross has helped provide health care and services worth more than VND8 billion (US$410,000), he said.
The meeting reviewed the implementation of co-operation agreements between the three Red Cross organisations during the 2006-10 period. Participants also discussed co-operation programmes for the next five years.
The three associations would encourage all border provinces to better share information on natural disasters and diseases while increasing discussions on preventive measures, mutual assistance and improvement of health care during emergency situations, Tang said.
He noted that the three groups would also share information on their activities, international Red Cross movements and humanitarian co-operation programmes. — VNS
