For its part, Viet Nam fully recognizes the crucial role of women in conflict prevention and settlement, State-building, sustaining peace and socioeconomic development. For centuries, Vietnamese women not only fought valiantly for the country’s freedom and independence but also worked hard and contributed significantly to the recovery and development of the country towards stability, sustainable development and international integration. Today, as part of our commitment to United Nations peacekeeping, Vietnamese women officers are taking part in training and making the necessary preparations to be deployed in the near future in United Nations peacekeeping missions.
