The 3rd National Congress of the Vietnam Sports Association for the Disabled was held in Hanoi on May 12. The congress elected a 23-member executive committee, with Lieutenant-General Nguyen The Bon as Chairman, and Vu The Phiet as Vice Chairman-cum-General Secretary.
The movement of disabled sports has so far expanded to 36 provinces and cities nationwide from only 25 in the first term of the association. In 2005, the Vietnamese delegation of 68 disabled athletes secured second place at the 3rd Southeast Asian Paragames with an excellent record of 87 golds.
