Agent Orange Vietnam: Joint efforts needed to care for AO victims


VAVA proposed that the Party, State, and Ministry of National Defence complete the policies for AO victims. It urged the Ministry and its agencies to work closely with the association to create the best policies for people and soldiers affected by AO, as well as those working in seriously contaminated areas.

It also asked the Ministry to cooperate with the VAVA to take care of the victims by building houses of gratitude, granting scholarships, providing vocational training to victims’ children and detoxifying infected people.

General Thanh said the Ministry will take the initiative to propose amendments to current policies related to AO victims to relieve their pain.
