Vietnam wishes to continue receiving support and cooperation from donors and international friends to maintain and promote its achievements in preventing and fighting HIV/AIDS, drug and prostitution.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc made the remarks during a December 12 meeting with representatives from international donors of Vietnam in the work in Hanoi.
