Addressing a seminar on women and cultural heritage on Sunday (February 21) in the central city of Hue, Ms. Doan urged social scientists to study new issues relating to Vietnamese women that will affirm and honor their role in national development.
This would inspire and set an example to follow for younger generations, she said.
