"Ladies and gentlemen,
I applaud the 3rd Paris PeaceForum for its very relevant theme of “Building a better world after theCovid-19 pandemic”.
Through the efforts of the entire politicalsystem, collective participation of the people, and active cooperation withvarious countries and international organizations, Viet Nam has been able tocontain the Covid-19 pandemic, ensure social security and recover economicgrowth.
We are fully aware that no single countrycan go very far alone in this fight. Thus, I believe that:
1. The pandemic triggered a global health,economic, social crisis. This shared challenge requires joint efforts ofhumanity through international solidary, multilateral cooperation andcoordination at national, regional and global level. Such efforts should ensurethat no individual and country would be left behind.
2. We need to put the interests of peopleat the core of our policies and actions. Our foremost priority is to protecthuman health and lives, and ensure affordable access to Covid-19 vaccines andmedicines for the peoples of all countries and territories.
3. All countries need to uphold theircommitment to the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development andclimate change. It is particularly necessary to assist developing countries andprovide them with financial, technological and commercial support. This willhelp them realize the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, gain equalaccess to markets and preferential loans, and effectively participate in theglobal supply chain.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am confident that, with strongdetermination and actions, we will certainly overcome all challenges, andtogether build a world of peace, cooperation and prosperity for a brighterfuture.
Thank you."/.
