HANOI, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- A consultative workshop was held Wednesday by Vietnam Union of Scientific and Technical Associations (VUSTA) to work on the country's commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS with the participation of relevant agencies and representatives from the United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS ( UNAIDS).
According to Vladanka Andreeva, senior expert of UNAIDS in Vietnam, during the first UN meeting on health care in June 2011, participating heads of states agreed to jointly fight and prevent HIV/AIDS by 2015. They signed the "Political Statement on HIV/AIDS 2011", which became an impetus to the global fight against this disease.
The statement has three major targets, including no more HIV infected people, no discrimination and no mortality by AIDS.
Vietnam has completed the Country Report 2010 successfully and will continue to implement the report on Global AIDS progress that will be completed in March 2012.
During the implementation process, with UNAIDS coordination, VUSTA held consultative meetings with social organizations to further promote their role and ensure their comments to be added in the report. According to VUSTA, the outcome of this workshop will be updated and finalized at a conference next month, which will contribute to completing Vietnam's Report on AIDS progress 2012.
