Vietnam Red Cross (VRC) Central Committee held a conference in Hanoi on September 22 to discuss cooperation among organisations and individuals for humanity.
The event was attended by Vice State President Nguyen Thi Doan, representatives from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, along with local and foreign benefactors.
Addressing the conference, the Vice President highlighted the results of charity activities in the field of international cooperation over the past years and extended thanks to international partners who have shown generous and continued kindness to people in difficult circumstances.
Ms. Doan emphasised that charity activities should be open and transparent in order to encourage the involvement of many organisations and individuals, improve the efficiency of programmes and projects and to help those in need.
She added that to help the VRC fulfil its tasks in the future, it is necessary to evaluate their recent performance in order to improve the quality of its activities and strengthen cooperation with other charity activities. She stressed that it is necessary to devise feasible measures to identify and implement priorities.
During the two-day event, delegates discussed priority activities with a focus on the management of disasters, healthcare and the development of VRC.
By 2020, VRC will give priorities to preventing disasters, providing urgent emergency healthcare, collecting blood donations and carrying out social work.
