Specifically, Vietnam always affirms its consistent policy of taking people as the centre and the driving force of all policy decisions which is also the guiding principle that the UN always strives to pursue.
Vietnam calls for strengthening trust, and international solidarity and responsibility, Giang said, adding that for its part, Vietnam is participating and reaffirming its active implementation of international commitments, as well as its readiness to fulfil obligations and responsibilities of a member state in all fields.
The country effectively promotes its participation in, and contributions to enhancing the UN’s role in building a global governance system based on international law and generally-accepted standards to ensure the maintenance of peace and the facilitation of sustainable and equitable development.
