(VOV) – National Assembly (NA) Vice Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan emphasized the importance of promoting peace, solidarity, friendship and cooperation between the Vietnamese people and those in the region and the wider world.
Kim Ngan made the remark at the first conference of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO) Standing Conference for 2013-2018 term in Hanoi on July 30.
She commended the VUFO and its member organizations’ practical activities as positive contributions to safeguarding the nation’s sacred sovereignty.
Regarding his union’s tasks for the second half of this year, VUFO President Vu Xuan Hong said the focus will be on strengthening cooperation and cross-cultural exchange with neighboring and traditional countries and strategic partners, and calling on non-governmental organizations to provide more aid to localities and carrying out activities to protect the sovereignty and ensure regional peace, security and stability.

Over the past six months, NGOs have disbursed roughly US$80 million for Vietnam.
