Hanoi (VNA) – Nearly 300 photos,
documents and items on the Agent Orange/dioxin (AO) disaster in Vietnam over
the past 60 years are being displayed at an exhibition that opened at the
Vietnam Military History Museum in Hanoi on July 13.
Sen. Lieut. Gen. Nguyen Van Rinh,
Chairman of the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin (VAVA)
said that the exhibition aims to provide Vietnamese people in and outside the
country as well as international friends with deeper understanding of consequences of the toxic chemical to the
environment and people’s health, endeavours taken by the Party, State, the
military and the VAVA as well as relevant agencies in overcoming them.
It also spotlights the joint
efforts of the society and support of international friends in dealing with the
results left by the disaster and helping victims, and the victims’ efforts to
integrate into the community, he said, adding that he hopes the exhibition will
contribute to calling for more support in easing the pain caused by the
disaster and stronger solidarity in preventing the proliferation of mass
destruction weapons as well as the support to the struggle to demand justice
for Vietnamese AO/dioxin victims.
