Looking ahead, Deputy General Director Nguyen Thi Quynh Giao proposed several recommendations to create new impetus for the development of Vietnamese women in the new era.

Firstly, we need to develop a "National Program on Women's Leadership Development in the Digital Age," connecting the State, businesses, and trade unions, to train Vietnamese women in leadership skills, innovation, and digital management.

Secondly , establish the "Vietnam Women's Initiative Fund," co-sponsored by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and major corporations and banks, to provide resources for ideas and initiatives of female workers, employees, and laborers to be applied in practice.

Thirdly , we need to make the criterion of "Gender equality and sustainable development" a pillar in evaluating advanced businesses, so that empowering women is no longer a movement, but a core value of modern Vietnamese corporate culture.
