Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the VAVA Central Committee Dang Nam Dien said an exchange marking the occasion will be held on August 9 with a view to looking into the impact of AO on Vietnamese humans and environment, the Party and State’s support for victims, and the journey for justice for them.
