March 11 morning after three working days.
In her closing remarks, President of
the Vietnam Women’s Union (VWU) Central Committee Ha Thi Nga said the congress adopted
important documents and affirmed the resolve to continue strongly and
comprehensively reforming activities of the union’s all-level chapters so as to
fulfill their key role in handling women affairs, create momentum for women
from all social strata to bring into play their capacity, and improve the role
and stature of the women and chapters.
She highlighted the congress’s belief
that under the Party’s clear-sighted leadership, central and local authorities’
coordination, support from domestic and foreign organisations and individuals, the
consensus and solidarity of women nationwide, along with VWU cadres’ dynamism,
creativity, and dedication, the resolution of the 13th National
Women’s Congress will be carried out successfully, thereby creating strong
breakthroughs in the women’s movement and VWU activities in the time ahead.
The congress elected 155 people to
the 13th VWU Central Committee, which later convened its first
meeting and re-elected Nga as the President and chose four others as vice
presidents.
