A group of nearly 40 victims of Agent Orange (AO) worldwide and those Japanese affected by atomic bombs on aboard Japan’s Peace Boat joined in an exchange with Vietnamese AO victims in Da Nang city, on August 31.

At the event, the participants shared the pain that the AO victims suffered during the war and encouraged each other to overcome difficulties in their daily lives.

The same day, over 300 young people from the locality and Peace Boat engaged in a cultural exchange, where they had a chance to enjoy traditional music performances.

Since 2007, the Peace Boat has mobilised nearly VND500 million in aid for AO victims based in Da Nang city, which is chosen as its regular destination each year.
