The support came as the Vietnam’s agricultural exports are facing difficulties due to the acute respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus (Covid-19).
The farm produce was distributed free of charge in Hanoi starting at 9 am on February 11. Each person received up to two fruits, said the embassy.
People coming for the watermelon were advised to prepare their own bags in a bid to protect the environment.
In 2019, Qatari Ambassador Mohammed Al-Emadi presented 11 scholarships worth VND10 million (US$430) each to students learning the Arab language and culture at the Vietnam National University-Hanoi, on the occasion of the 48th National Day of Qatar and the 26th founding anniversary of the Vietnam-Qatar diplomatic ties.
