The GDP chief added that more than 93,000 military women’s union members are working in different military units and fields throughout the country. Some have worked in specialized fields. Some have taken part in the United Nations peacekeeping operations, and joined training, combat readiness, weapons and ammunition production activities.

They should actively train, foster, appoint female cadres. In addition, they should arrange work for them in line with their professional expertise, capacity, strength, and family situations, especially those working in remote, mountainous, and disadvantaged areas, said General Cuong.
He also urged agencies and units to create favorable conditions for servicewomen to study, practice, devote, improve, and develop, so as they could well perform their duties at work and at home.
For those who were honored on the day, General Cuong asked them to promote their attainments, continue to study, improve their professional expertise, bring into play noble virtues of Uncle Ho’s soldiers and traditions of Vietnamese women, military women in the current period.
In recognition of their contribution and achievements at home and abroad, the defense minister presented certificates of typical military women in the 2012-2022 period to 378 female delegates. This is a source of encouragement for them to contribute more to the military and national development and the high quality and efficiency of the work “for women’s advancement and gender equality in the military.”
