Ms. Keys said the Australian government has committed to continue providing support for gender equality programs in Vietnam. Delegates discussed several topics including challenges emerging in Vietnam, basic mistakes when writing about gender issues, and integrating gender issues as part of Australia’s development projects in Vietnam.
