He continued by saying that  “responding to the needs and vulnerabilities of migrants in today’s complex global context is not a simple challenge  and thus the effectiveness of our efforts largely depends on working together in partnership”. \n \nPhoto: Representatives of Thai Red Cross and Viet Nam Red Cross participating in the meeting | Each session was facilitated by a representative from partner implementing CSO.\n\n\nThe morning session focused on presentations from the CSOs who shared their progress\, implementation challenges and plans ahead.
