UNICEF hails Vietnamese implementation of child care and protection policies
VOV.VN - Rana Flowers, representative of the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Vietnam, applauded the nation’s socio-economic development achievements amidst challenges and difficulties, especially in terms of implementing priority policies related to child care and protection.
Meeting with Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Vietnam's Permanent Representative to the UN, in New York on April 8, the official affirmed that UNICEF welcomes the nation’s initiative on the Resolution on the International Day of Play recently approved by the UN General Assembly. He described it as a practical and significant contribution to the international community's common goal of children's comprehensive development.
The organisation always places importance on its relations with the country and will continue supporting the nation’s implementation of priorities in this field.
Ambassador Giang welcomed the UNICEF's important role and effective co-operation in the care, education, protection, and promotion of the rights of local children.
He expressed his hope that the organisation will continue paying attention to supporting the country in terms of mobilising resources, building policies, and accelerating specific and practical co-operation projects to carry out the outcomes of the meeting in New York in March held between then Vice State President Vo Thi Anh Xuan and Catherine Russell, executive director of UNICEF.
At the meeting, both sides consented to jointly organise activities aimed at celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam-UNICEF partnership, whilst also seeking to take advantage of this milestone to outline directions for co-operation in the new period.
