Earlier the same day, the congress adopted a proposal that the VWU Central Committee will have 171 members.

Therefore, the remaining 10 members of the committee will be elected later.

The new Central Committee convened their first session in the afternoon the same day.

Also on March 8, participants contributed ideas for the congress’s documents, including a draft political report and the union’s charter.

Delegates continued to present their reports and recommendations on women’s affairs, women’s movements and the union’s operation.

Many solutions were proposed to promote the role, potential and creativity of all-level women’s unions in national construction, defence and development.

The congress is slated to conclude on March 9.
