provincial People's Committee Bui Van Khanh spoke highly of opinions at the
event. He proposed that following the event, departments, agencies, localities
and the provincial Women's Union seriously settle the discussed issues,
concretise appropriate suggestions from officials and women union members into mechanisms
and policies, and promptly deal with difficulties and issues under the watch of
their respective units and localities. Issues raised at the event must be
thoroughly handled, avoiding repetitive discussions.

paying attention to the work of female officials and activities to care for
their material and spiritual lives, as well as gender equality in various
fields.
