Cuban Women's Union delegation visits Ninh Binh province

Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Pham Quang Ngoc received the delegation and briefed the guests on the province's socio-economic development, building the Party and political system, ensuring national defence and security, and women's movements.

Ninh Binh is among the leading provinces and centrally-run cities nationwide in the number of female deputies to the 14th National Assembly, reaching 50%, he said, noting that all-level women's unions in the province have played a key role in women and gender equality-related affairs.

Ngoc urged the Vietnam Women's Union and the CWU to create conditions for the Ninh Binh women's union to contribute to cooperation between the two sides in the time ahead.

Teresa María Amarelle Boúe agreed with Ngoc's proposals, and lauded some women models launched in the province, saying the information she got during field trips to the models are useful in Cuba.

She expressed her hope that Vietnam in general and Ninh Binh in particular will further share experience in women-related affairs, contributing to Cuba's socio-economic development.
