Major General Son highlighted the association’s efforts to provide health care, rehabilitation services, livelihood support, vocational training, scholarships, improved housing conditions, and legal protection for Agent Orange/dioxin victims.
The delegation also shared its victim-centered approach, which goes beyond addressing immediate needs by creating opportunities for victims to develop their abilities, build confidence, integrate into society, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Congresswoman Tlaib expressed her continued support for policy advocacy on behalf of people affected by Agent Orange/dioxin and for initiatives aimed at improving health care for US veterans. She emphasized the importance of expanding support within the US Congress and strengthening coordination among lawmakers, Veterans For Peace, social organizations, and the Asian American community.
The parties agreed on the need to further raise public awareness, particularly among young people in the US, about the lasting consequences of Agent Orange/dioxin in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. They said this provides an important foundation for expanding promoting legislative initiatives, mobilizing resources, and developing practical support programs for victims.
