Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) Pham Thi Hai Chuyen said the event would create an opportunity for participants to exchange views on a more effective implementation of the national strategy and action programmes on gender equality, and a social-economic development plan towards sustainable development goals for the country from now to 2020.
The UN Resident Coordinator in Vietnam, Pratibha Mehta, said that in 2015 leaders from across the globe gathered in New York to ratify the UN sustainable development goals. President Truong Tan Sang underlined Vietnam’s efforts to implement measures that would abolish gender gaps in all fields. Mehta said she hopes Vietnam will double its efforts to implement the national strategy and action programme on gender equality.
