Between 2017-2020, the two sides will work together to provide vocational training and generate jobs for AO/dioxin victims, helping them gain stable incomes and integrate into society, while expanding external activities to raise international community’s awareness of consequences of the toxic chemical in Vietnam, thus mobilizing their support for Vietnamese AO/dioxin victims.

VAVA President Nguyen Van Rinh said over the past time, the two sides coordinated to advise the Party and the State on policies towards people who rendered great services to the nation in general and war veterans exposed to toxic chemicals in particular.
