South Korea’s Hamyang County donates coconut trees to help protect Da Nang’s beaches

The event was attended by Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee Ho Quang Buu and Mayor of Hamyang County Jin Byung Young.

Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman Ho Quang Buu said that Da Nang has been mobilizing social resources to donate and plant coconut trees along local beaches since late 2024. The purpose was to create more green spaces along the coastline, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and reduce coastal erosion and landslides.

After nearly two years of implementation, the program has received strong support from numerous agencies, organizations and businesses. A large number of coconut trees have been contributed to help create greener, more attractive and sustainable beach landscapes, he added.

Mr. Buu expressed his thanks to the authorities and people of Hamyang County for their meaningful gift. He affirmed that the donation demonstrated goodwill, a spirit of cooperation and their shared commitment to environmental protection and climate change adaptation.

This activity not only contributed to beautifying Da Nang’s coastal landscape but also served as a vivid symbol of the growing friendship, cooperation, and ties between Da Nang and Hamyang County, he noted.

Also at the ceremony, the Hamyang delegation, leaders of the city, and representatives of relevant departments and agencies, performed the ritual of planting coconut trees and unveiling a commemorative plaque at the beach near the intersection of Nguyen Duc Thuan and Vo Nguyen Giap streets in Ngu Hanh Son Ward.
