Chouaibi said the Strategy aims to enhance the role of women in decision making and prevent violence against women in any form. The rate of women engaging in political and economic activities in Vietnam is the highest in Southeast Asia, he said.
The Ambassador highlighted Vietnam’s considerable efforts to narrow development gaps between localities, especially through specific programs and projects to improve living conditions in remote mountain areas.
According to the Ambassador, Vietnamese women are involved in all aspects of the economy and have made significant contributions to national development.
Many policies have been devised to ensure the rights of women, he said, adding that the Vietnamese Government's strategy to promote the role of women in the political system and in decision-making positions has been very successful.
Ambassador Chouaibi said that these policies and strategies have helped Vietnamese women maximize their potential and confidence to pursue their passions, develop their career, and improve their economic position.
