Hello everyon​e,​

On behalf of co-chair Dr. Tran Thi Tuyet Hanh, welcome to tomorrow’s
meeting of the NGO Agent Orange Working Group, our first meeting in quite a
long time. We are overdue to gather and share news and views and recent
developments concerning Agent Orange / dioxin and the continuing impact of
this issue in Viet Nam.

The agenda is not long, but the content should be informative and useful,
and will include a bit of organizational housekeeping at the end that we
need to dispense with.

AGENDA:

1.    Brief introduction of each participant present and organization(s)
represented.

2.    Presentation by Dr. Le Ke Son, author with Dr. Charles Bailey of a
new book entitled *>From Enemies to Partners Vietnam – the U.S. and Agent
Orange.*  Dr. Son is an MD and Ph.D. in toxicology who has worked on the
Agent Orange / dioxin issue with the Vietnam Red Cross, Committee 33, the
Vietnam Environmental Administration, and as Vietnamese co-chair of the
United States-Vietnam Joint Advisory Committee. He recently completed a
book-signing tour of cities in the U.S. with Dr. Bailey to introduce their
new book.  Following Dr. Son’s presentation there will be Q&A session and
discussion.

3.    Update and sharing of information about activities, projects,
developments over the past year in connection with Agent Orange / dioxin.

4.    Discussion of AOWG mission and in 2018; most appropriate role for the
working group in today’s situation.

5.    Election of co-chairs for 2018 and 2019.

6.    Any other business, adjournment.

Please confirm your attendance with Ms. Phan Thu Ha, Senior WGs Coordinator
