At a reception in Hanoi on Monday for Sanjay Wijesekera, Regional Director for UNICEF Asia and the Pacific, Deputy PM Tra said Vietnam considers child protection in cyberspace an important task amid digital transformation.
Wijesekera said he is impressed by Vietnam's achievements in children's affairs and hopes to continue close collaboration with Vietnam to address the challenges young people face in the digital age.
Ms. Tra called on UNICEF to partner with Vietnam in developing solutions that harness technological opportunities while protecting children from risks to their mental health, nutrition, intellectual development, and overall well-being.
She said she hopes UNICEF will share its expertise, provide technical support, and mobilize resources to help Vietnam strengthen its governance capacity, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of child protection, care, and education.
