Speaking highly of the assistance given by UNICEF to improve child care and protection in Viet Nam, Ngan said she hoped the fund would continue its important role in coordinating with other UN organisations to support Viet Nam's younger generations.
She stressed Viet Nam valued caring for and protecting children and that it was an important cornerstone of the country's policy platform.
Sylwander praised the NA Vice Chairwoman for her contributions to promoting the enforcement of child rights, expressing her hope that Ngan would continue her work in the field.
Viet Nam has made significant progress in ensuring the rights of children. Most notably, the country's child mortality rate dropped to 16 per cent in 2010 from 36.7 percent a decade earlier.
