The Vietnam's Women's Union Central Committee (VWUCC) opened its 9th conference in Hanoi on January 8. 

During the two-day conference, preparation documents for the 10th National Women's Congress and Vietnam's Women's Union 2002-07 report will be discussed.

In 2007, the VWUCC plans to disseminate the law on gender equality and contribute to building the government's decree on implementing the law. It will also be involved in promulgating the Party Political Bureau's resolution on strengthening Party leadership with women's participation, particularly their role in national industrialisation and modernisation.
