In order to speed up the settlement of consequences of chemicals left by the war
and improve the living conditions for AO victims, the PM suggested that the
association continue showing strong performance in implementing the Party
Central Committee’s Secretariat Directive 43 on the strengthening of the Party
leadership over settling chemicals’ consequences and the national action
programme in the field.
The association should actively implement the resolution released at its fourth
National Congress, while coordinating with media agencies to raise public
awareness of dioxin disaster in Vietnam and call for the society’s support to
the struggle to claim justice for AO victims, he said.
He asked the association to continue reforming its operational methods, with
focus on improving capacity to its officials, while giving consultations and
criticism against policies regarding AO victims.
Along with caring for AO victims, the association should work harder to
encourage the whole society to join hands in easing dioxin pains for victims,
including giving a warm Lunar New Year (Tet) festival to them.
So far, more than 2.6 trillion VND (112.68 million USD), including 370 billion
VND raised in 2020, has been given to AO victims and their family to ease their
difficulties.
Particularly, activities to gain justice for AO victims have been implemented in
various forms, attracting domestic and international attention.
On the occasion, the PM presented 50 charity houses to AO victims and 500
million VND to the centre for nursing and providing vocational training for AO
victims.
