In his opening remarks, President of the
Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL), Bui Van Cuong, stated that with
a sense of responsibility, dynamism and creativity, all-level trade unions have
overcome difficulties, overhauled operational contents and methods, and
designed many practical guidelines and measures to organise the implementation
and basically fulfill the goals and tasks set at the 11thCongress.
The trade union activities have focused
on giving practical benefits to union members and labourers, he said, adding
that trade union organisations are constantly growing and promoting their role
as trustworthy representatives of the labour force, a strong supporter of the
Party, and a bridge connecting the Party and State with labourers.
Cuong stressed that the position of
trade unions in society has been improved, as trade union activities and the workers’
movement have made significant contributions to the country’s socio-economic
development, strengthening national defense and security, and building a strong
and pure political system, thus increasing the position of Vietnam in the
international arena.

five years, he said.
