He called on all-level sectors as well as organisations and individuals at home and abroad to support the centre.
He asked the staff to serve the victims with the highest responsibility and improve the centre’s operational efficiency.
The construction of the centre commenced in 2014 with a total cost of 41 billion VND (1.8 million USD). It now has a 70-room nursery house for victims, a detoxification and rehabilitation house, and a dining room for about 150 people.
The project is still underway with the building of a nursery house for AO victims’ families, an exhibition hall, an amusement park, and a commemorative house for people who died of the toxic chemical.
VAVA took this occasion to honour groups that made significant contributions to the building of the centre.-VNA
