Speaking at the forum, Nguyen Van Toan, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, praised the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs and other departments, agencies and organisations in the provincial Steering Committee for Child Protection, People's Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city for carrying out specific solutions to contribute to the better implementation of the child care, protection and education. He emphasised that the 2022 Children's Forum held at the commune and district levels for nearly one month has attracted the attention of the whole society to issues related to children. The forum not only is a place for children to express their legitimate wishes for a better life, but also shows the deep concern, affection and responsibility of authorities of all levels, sectors and localities for the child protection, care, education and exercise of children's rights.
