(VOVworld) – Social work in Vietnam has proven its important role in handling social issues arising during national development. Vu Trong Kim, Vice President and Secretary General of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, made the statement at a meeting in Hanoi on Tuesday in response to 2014 World Social Work Day.
Kim noted that social work has now become a profession legally recognized by both the state and society. It directly helps resolve social issues and reduces social inequality and contradictions, aiding a civilized and advanced society. Kim says: “More scientific studies should be made to outline a model to organize social work, improve the legal system, policies, and create a legal corridor for the profession to develop. Provinces and cities should design plans to implement the model, arrange personnel, and integrate social work in local socio-economic development plans. It’s also necessary to boost the exchange of experience in training and research with international organizations.”
