The Vietnamese women have further affirmed their role across social aspects, including external affairs as a result of the Party and State’s attention to building the legal framework regarding women’s interest, Mai said.

Congratulating the group on its achievements over the past five years, she hailed its cultural and people-to-people exchanges, such as gatherings on the ASEAN Family Day and participating in the international cuisine festivals, as well as contributions to social and charity events throughout Vietnam.
