Head of the Ministry’s Social Welfare Department, Nguyen Van Hoi, said Vietnam expects to have practical activities in the ASEAN to help people with disabilities integrate into the community:
“All ASEAN member states want to uphold corporate responsibility towards people with disabilities, therefore, improving corporate values in the community. The ASEAN has called for a regional review of legal framework to enhance corporate support for people with disabilities and vulnerable groups. In particular, businesses should be incentivized to recruit people with disabilities in work places,” said Hoi.
Delegates agreed to develop common recommendation for business integration support for people with disabilities towards a more resilient and well connected ASEAN.
