The meeting affirmed NAM countries are enhancing women’s roles in every field and aimed to boost cooperation among member countries to achieve the common NAM goals.
In his speech at the meeting, Vietnamese Deputy FM Minh praised NAM members’ efforts in implementing the 2009 Guatemala Declaration and Program of Action on the Advancement of Women and welcomed the establishment of a UN Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality, describing this as an impetus for promoting global gender equality.
In the context of the global economic downturn, violence and conflicts in some regions of the world, Mr Minh raised his concern about the challenges facing developing countries in boosting socio-economic development, promoting gender equality and improving the lives of women and children.

President tours rural programme pilot site
President Truong Tan Sang yesterday, Feb 14, visited historical Kim Binh Commune, chosen to pilot the new national rural programme, in the northern mountain province of Tuyen Quang's Chiem Hoa District.
Sang paid homage to war martyrs at the Kim Binh Historical Monument where late President Ho Chi Minh and other State and Party leaders used to work during the second national Party Congress in February 1951.
The congress issued the decision to rename the Labour Party of Viet Nam from the Indochinese Communist Party.
Sang visited the location to mark the 61st anniversary of the congress, also as a way to look back on services rendered by his predecessors.
He also worked with communal authorities and residents on their socio-economic development and outcomes related to the implementation of the new rural area programme.
The leader commented that despite unfavourable natural conditions, the commune had focused on high-yield mainstay plants.
He noted the locality's remarkable achievements in giving the area a new face via the construction of schools, from primary to higher levels, connecting all households to power network and building car-accessible roads.
Sang urged the commune to take more heeds on sustainable growth, commodity production and privileges for those having contributed to the resistance.

On February 14, the HCM City Party Committee held a conference on Party-building work in 2012 with the attendance of Politburo member and Secretary of the HCM municipal Party Committee, Le Thanh Hai.
In 2011, HCM City admitted nearly 9,600 new Party members, up 15 percent over the previous year and accounting for 50 percent of young Party members aged between 18 and 30.
Nearly 775 Party organizations with around 13,000 Party members were established in non-State enterprises, while 12 out of 13 export processing zones and industrial parks also established Party cells, 69 percent of which were recognized as strong and transparent.
Party organizations in the city have improved the quality of their activities which has helped reduce the number of Party members who violate the Party regulations that stipulate they attend required regular meetings.
In 2012, HCM City will go ahead with implementing Party Central Committee resolutions and the municipal Party Committee instructions on Party-building work, training cadres and improving the quality and operational efficiency of Party organizations.
In his speech, Secretary of the HCM municipal Party Committee Le Thanh Hai said, those who are involved in Party building and organization must be professionally qualified and fully understand what their Party organizations have assigned them to do.
Qualified cadres should be available to fulfill all the political tasks set by Party organizations and localities.
