BEIJING, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sent a message of condolences to his Vietnamese counterpart, Pham Binh Minh, on Monday over two devastating typhoons ripping through the country recently.

In his message, Wang expressed deep grief and sympathy with families of the victims and the Vietnamese affected by typhoons Haiyan and Podul.
