Vietnam has fulfilled many MDGs ahead of the schedule, and is working to achieve SDGs, he noted, adding that the country also contributed as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council during the 2008-2009 tenure, as a member of the International Labour Organisation Governing Body in 2011-2014 and the UN Human Rights Council in 2014-2016.

Vietnam will continue joining in works of the UN and international organisations in Geneva, he affirmed.
The ambassador also expressed his joy at the recent fruitful development of the relations between Vietnam and the UN, especially after Ban Ki-moon’s visit to Vietnam last year.
Vietnam values the General Secretary’s contributions to promoting the UN’s agenda and enhancing UN-Vietnam ties, he stressed.
