CESCR members made recommendations to help Vietnam continue fine-tuning its laws and designing policies to ensure economic, social and cultural rights, particularly for women, children, the disabled, and ethnic minorities living in remote or impoverished areas.
Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said the Vietnamese government will thoroughly consider recommendations and conclusions adopted at the end of the session, to ensure that Vietnam is a responsible and active member of the international community.
