Ms. Nga was re-elected as the President of the Vietnam Women’s Union during the 13th National Congress of Women of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, on March 10, 2022.

She presented the implementation of continuing reforms in Vietnam aimed at ensuring the role of women and their involvement in all areas of government. She also presented the role of women in public administration, economy, science and other spheres. Ms. Nga presented the changes stemming from the principle of equality of women, which were implemented in the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam of 2013 and in many laws.

Vice President of the Vietnam Women's Union Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Huong presented the decisions and results of the 13th National Assembly of Women of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the five-year plan for 2022-2027 period. She also presented the proposals adopted by the 13th National Congress of Women of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, addressed to the partners of international and non-governmental international organizations.

Among other speakers was the UN Women Representative in Vietnam, Ms. Elisa Fernandez Saenz. She noted that Vietnam has established a strong legal basis for women's equality through the adoption of Laws on Gender Equality and Prevention and control of domestic violence, protecting and assisting the victims of domestic violence. These issues are fully reflected in the National strategy of gender equality for the period 2021-2030 that was adopted last year. Vietnam's achievements are not only reflected in the commitments undertaken by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, but as well as in the practical efforts to increase the role of Vietnamese women in all areas, including politics.
