NA Vice Chairwoman Phong, who is also head of the female NA
deputies’ group, said women account for about 27.6 percent of total lawmakers
at present, the highest rate in the three recent tenures, giving Vietnam the
63rd place among member parliaments of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Many of
them are holding important positions in the State apparatus, she said.
Most of the female deputies have actively raised opinions about
economic, cultural, social, security-defence, and external affairs,
especially gender equality and the protection of the rights of women,
children and vulnerable groups, thereby contributing to the common successes
of the NA and NA agencies, Phong stressed.
Meanwhile, they have also played an active role in bilateral and
multilateral inter-parliamentary activities, helping to show Vietnam as a
friend, trustworthy partner and responsible member of the world community and
gather foreign support for the country, she said, adding that their
participation in external activities has contributed to the growing stature
of Vietnamese women in the international arena.
At the meeting, President Quang highly evaluated female
lawmakers’ role in the NA’s activities in which they have shown considerable
improvements in their legislative and supervisory skills and making decisions
on important issues of the nation. They have been actively contributing to
Vietnam’s industrialisation, modernisation and integration into the world, he
said.
The Party and State always create the best possible conditions
for female deputies to continue their contributions and uphold the fine
traditions of Vietnamese women, the President affirmed.
The leader asked the female NA deputies’ group of Vietnam to
make more efforts to attain greater achievements, helping to build a law-governed
State of the people, by the people and for the people.
