In his remarks at the gathering, Chairman of the city’s Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee Nguyen Phuoc Loc affirmed that city leaders always prioritize women’s and children’s affairs as a key priority.

The resolution of the 14th National Party Congress identifies people as the center, the subject, and the driving force of renewal, in which women’s role is an extremely important resource and motivation. Investing in women and children, he said, means investing in the future.

Investment in women and children is investment in the future, he emphasized.

In Ho Chi Minh City, the proportion of women included in leadership planning and participating in Party committees, government and elected bodies has been steadily promoted, reflecting the strength of the national unity bloc with women as an important pillar.
