At a meeting with female deputies attending the ongoing National Assembly session in Hanoi, Mr. Trong asked them to continue promoting the heroic and glorious tradition of Vietnamese women, working wholeheartedly for the benefit of the nation and people, and better perform their role as representatives of the people. 

He said female deputies should increase friendship exchanges and international cooperation, and participate in international and regional conferences and forums, particularly on gender equality, domestic violence prevention and combat, and climate change, as well as raise the position and prestige of Vietnamese female NA deputies in the international arena.

The current National Assembly has 151 female deputies, accounting for 30.26%.
