New York (VNA) – Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Do Hung Viet attended the 2024 Ministerial Meeting of the Global Governance Group (3G) in New York on September 23 (local time), on the sidelines of the High-Level General Debate of the United Nations General Assembly’s 79th session.

Chaired by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Singapore, the event drew top diplomats from the G20 Troika nations and 30 member countries of the 3G group.

In his speech, Viet expressed support behind Brazil’s upcoming G20 presidency in 2024, highlighting shared priorities such as sustainable development, climate action, and amplifying the voice and interests of developing countries in the Global South.

Sharing the severe impacts of Typhoon Yagi on Vietnam's economy and its people, the official urged the G20 to continue prioritising climate change response efforts, saying that G20 nations need to lead in emission reduction and support developing countries in adapting and increasing resilience to climate change.

He also stressed the need to push for global governance reform based on fairness and inclusivity, aligning G20 efforts with the effective delivery of commitments made at the Summit of the Future.

The meeting culminated in the adoption of a press statement from the 3G group, calling on nations to set aside differences and work toward an open and transparent global governance system that promptly addresses common challenges.

During a working session with Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Climate Action and Energy Transition Selwin Hart a day earlier, Viet mentioned Vietnam's strides toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and updates on projects under the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) framework.

He suggested UN agencies and partners continue supporting Vietnam in developing a green and sustainable economy, enhancing its capacity to respond to climate change, and advancing a just energy transition.

Hart, in turn, strongly supported Vietnam's efforts in its green transition process, pledging to rally partners in prioritising resources for effective JETP implementation./.

In the new era, great national unity is not only a spiritual tradition, but also a national development capacity and a source of strength to unlock resources and creativity, create social consensus, and safeguard the country early and from afar. Unity now means respecting legitimate differences, harmonising interests, taking national interests as common ground, and rallying all patriotic Vietnamese around the aspiration to build a peaceful, independent, democratic, strong, prosperous, civilised, and happy Vietnam, the top leader said.
