The United Nations highly valued Vietnam’s contributions and its determination to realise the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The valuation came when State President Nguyen Minh Triet and a high-ranking delegation of Vietnam attended and shared experiences at the UN Summit on the MDGs, which convened in New York from Sept. 20-22.
President Triet delivered speeches at the plenary and roundtable sessions, sharing experiences of Vietnam that is recognised as one of the leaders in performing the MDGs.
According to the president, the most valuable lesson drawn after 10 years of implementing the MDGs is that the performance of the MDGs should be turned into a focus of international cooperation and development strategies of developing nations.
At the summit, participating leaders noted with pleasure that the world has reaped a wide range of achievements in carrying out the MDGs, especially in the efforts to increase the number of children getting access to school, provide safe water to people and control epidemics.
They agreed that the MDGs are achievable, pointing out the fact that the world’s poorest countries have also recorded encouraging progresses in this field.
Vietnam and Ghana were highlighted as the most outstanding models in implementing the MDGs, which successfully reduced the number of poor people by a half and thirds-fourths, respectively.
During the trip, President Triet met with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and former US President Bill Clinton on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).
The Vietnamese president also held separate meetings with leaders of Germany, Ukraine, Denmark, Colombia, Namibia, the Central African Republic and Cuba.
The UN chief spoke highly of Vietnam’s experiences and resolve in the performance of the MDGs, while leaders of the African nations expected to learn Vietnam ’s know-how in agricultural production.
Meeting with US business leaders and scholars, President Triet introduced advantages of the Vietnamese investment environment and applauded US companies’ move to increase the flow of investments in the Southeast Asian country over the past two years.
President Triet, who is also Chair of ASEAN in 2010, co-chaired the 2 nd ASEAN-US Leaders’ Summit, together with his US counterpart Barack Obama.
The summit issued a joint communique in which ASEAN and US leaders pledged to put forward measures to enhance the multifaceted ASEAN-US cooperation, bringing their ties to a new height./.
