The delegates discussed with parliamentarians who proposed the draft resolution in support of Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange/dioxin, as well as experts in this field, to better understand the draft resolution, call for financial support from the Belgian Government for Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange/dioxin, and urge the Belgian House of Representatives to pass the resolution. Mr. Pierre Gréga, President of the Belgium-Vietnam Friendship Association, who visited Vietnam in early March, emphasized the importance of the draft resolution and hoped that this document would be passed so that scientists can continue to analyze the impact of toxic chemicals on the environment and people. This is not a problem of Vietnam alone but a problem worldwide./.
