During her visit to Germany, Vietnam Women’s Union  (VWU) President Nguyen Thi Thanh Hoa said the union always facilitates Vietnamese women’s activities in Germany in particular and abroad in general. President Hoa made the commitment yesterday at a meeting with representatives from Vietnamese women’s associations in Germany during her three-day visit to the country.

The VWU President spoke highly of the initiatives and effective action models of the Vietnamese women in Germany, and said she will give out appropriate recommendations to step up activities for women abroad. Representatives at the meeting briefed her on the difficulties and insufficiencies in their movements, expressing hope to receive more support from the Party, State and VWU, particularly in sharing experiences and ways to attract more participants.

During an earlier meeting between Hoa and Vice President of the German National Council of Women Organisations Brigitte Triems, the two sides exchanged their experiences in encouraging women to join national and international women organizations, raising public awareness of women’s roles and position, as well as working for their rights and equality in society.

The two leaders also agreed to further enhance mutual understanding between the two sides for future cooperation. On Wednesday, the VWU delegation presented gifts to children at a Vietnamese-German bilingual nursery school, which is the first ever bilingual education model for Vietnamese, German and international children of pre-school age in Germany.

During their visit to the school, President Hoa and Vietnamese Ambassador to Germany Nguyen Thi Hoang Anh highly valued the model and said they hoped that it will be expanded to help Vietnamese people better integrate into German society.
