On Tuesday, newly-elected Da Nang Party Committee (PC) Secretary Nguyen Xuan Anh visited the municipal Women’s Union on the occasion of the 85^th founding anniversary of the Viet Nam Women’s Union (20 October), widely known as Vietnamese Women’s Day.

Secretary Anh extended his congratulations to the Union’s female staff and to all local women, and he praised them for their great efforts to develop Da Nang into a more civilised and modern city over recent years.

Numerous large-scale emulation campaigns launched by local women’s unions at grass-roots level have been implemented effectively, and they have attracted a great deal of attention from the general public.  In particular, there has been a considerable increase in the number of women being elected to key positions in local Party organisations, especially to the municipal PC’s Executive Committee and the PC’s Standing Board for the 2015 - 2020 tenure.  This positive sign has demonstrated the vital role of local women in society.

The city leader also took the opportunity to urge local women to uphold the good traditional virtues of Vietnamese women in order to make more significant devotion to the city’s progress.
