The Vietnamese Consulate General is working with U.S. competent agencies to allow relatives of four Vietnamese students who were injured in a fatal road accident in Seattle, Washington on September 24 (U.S. time) to visit them, according to Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The consulate, relevant U.S. agencies, and North Seattle Community College are cooperating with one another to help the family members of the four students complete procedures to fly to the U.S. and visit them.
