The online meeting was held by the Vietnam Women's Association.

At the meeting, the Central Presidium of Vietnam Women's Association started implementing election directions and guidelines by the Central Party Committee, by the Prime Minister and by the Central Election Committee in charge of the election of delegates to the 13th Tenure National Assembly and to levels of People’s Council in 2011-2016 period.

This is a significant election that will be held on May 22, 2011.

Thus, the Central Vietnam Women's Association asked local Women’s Associations to pay more attention to structure, composition and proportion of female delegates nominated to take part in the National Assembly and levels of People's Council.

Striving for a 30 percent of female delegates elected to the National Assembly and levels of People’s Council is a must.

Therefore, levels of Women’s Association ought to offer women opportunities to contact voters before the election and call for women to participate in the election for their citizen rights.

Also, the meeting heard local authorities’ contributive opinions on some contents regarding structure, composition, organization and propaganda work for the election.
