She proposed fostering closer ties between female diplomats at the ASEAN Secretariat and AWCH members, facilitating cultural exchanges and experience-sharing to deepen mutual understanding and strengthen international friendship.
Both sides underscored the importance of cultural cooperation in promoting ASEAN solidarity.
The following day, Ly visited the Indonesian Child Cancer Care Foundation (YKAKI) in Jakarta, where she met with child patients, and presented gifts to the children and the centre.
