The embassy of Vietnam in Doha repatriated a total of 66 overseas Vietnamese, including students, labourers and tourists, by a chartered Vietnamese airline – Bamboo Airways — flight yesterday. “In the context of Qatar’s current inbound travel restrictions, the successful preparation for the above flight resulted from the enthusiastic assistance, support and co-ordination from the relevant authorities in Qatar,” the embassy said in a statement. Speaking at the airport just before the flight, Vietnam’s ambassador Nguyen Dinh Thao expressed sincere appreciation and thanks to the relevant bodies in Qatar, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior, Qatar Civil Aviation Authority and the Hamad International Airport, “who provided valuable support and assistance” to the embassy in organising the flight.” Before arriving in Qatar, the above-mentioned Bamboo Airways plane landed in Kuwait to help repatriate 200 Vietnamese in the country to Vietnam, the statement added.
