The 11th Congress of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour
(VGCL) for the 2013-2018 tenure wrapped up in Hanoi on July 30 with the
re-election of Dang Ngoc Tung as President of the VGCL for another
tenure.
After four days of sitting, the congress has set the
targets and orientations for the VGCL in the next five years, which will
focus on renovating its operational mode to take better care of its
members and labourers and protect their legitimate rights and interests.
In the new tenure, the VGCL will continue to take part in
state management and socio-economic management; foster patriotic
emulation movements and establish stronger trade unions at grassroots
level, thus building the working class into the core and vanguard force
in the national construction and protection.
At the closing
ceremony, the congress announced composition of the 11th VGCL’s
Executive Committee which has 172 members and a 24-member Presidium.
All members of the new Executive Committee affirmed they will
make every effort to effectively implement the set targets.
In the same day’s evening, an arts performance will be held in the
Vietnam-Russia Friendship Cultural Palace to congratulate the
congress’ success.-VNA
