Vietnam’s re-election to the United Nations Human Rights Council for the 2026-2028 term, with 180 votes, the highest among Asia-Pacific candidates competing for seats in this body, affirms the country’s rising international position and reputation, said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang.
The ICAPP leaders spoke highly of Vietnam’s robust and comprehensive achievements in the fields of economy, culture, and society, stressing that the country has demonstrated itself as an active and responsible member of the international and regional community.
Over the past 80 years, the consular and citizen protection work has achieved significant results, contributing to the overall success of external affairs and earning recognition from the Party, State, and people.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang suggested the UN Trade & Development (UNCTAD) continue to support developing countries amidst global headwinds while addressing the Global Leaders Forum held in Switzerland on June 12-13 on the occasion of the UNCTAD’s 60th anniversary.
