In Vietnam in general and the province in particular, the Association of Victims of Agent Orange/dioxin is working actively to address consequences of Agent Orange/dioxin, contributing to the development of the country, and for benefits of the victims. 

At the meeting, Miyuki Sakuma said that the Japan - Vietnam Friendship Association in Hiroshima was established in 1955 to develop a solidarity movement with the Vietnamese people in the struggle for peace and against the war. The association, the oldest of its kind in Hiroshima, has been implementing many exchange and friendship activities with the Vietnamese community living in the prefecture. 

She expressed her hope that Hoa Binh province will coordinate with the association in addressing war consequences and safeguarding peace. She also called on Hoa Binh to join the Mayors For Peace network with the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons. 

Thanking the guest for her proposal, Khanh said that Hoa Binh province will consider and study procedures to be able to participate in this network in the coming time.
