Vietnam actively contributed opinions at the 49th regular session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) that took place both in person and via videoconference from February 28 to April 1.
The Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement is an important deal which brings many benefits to the people as well as the business community of Vietnam and the EU, therefore the two sides are making efforts to complete procedures for the official signing, ratification and enforcement of the agreement.
Vietnam regards the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) as an obligation of a responsible member of the United Nations (UN) as well as an opportunity to introduce the country’s consistent policies, efforts and achievements in protecting human rights, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung.
