Hanoi (VNA) – An international workshopwas held in Hanoi on April 2 under the theme “Vietnam in the UN SecurityCouncil: Strengthening partnership for sustainable peace”.

Opening the function, Deputy Foreign Minister LeHoai Trung said Vietnam first played the role of a non-permanent member of theUN Security Council for the 2008-2009 period, adding this came from thecountry’s desire of becoming a responsible member of the internationalcommunity as well as integrating into the world.

Vietnam has made practical contributions such aspresiding over the compilation and negotiations to help the council passResolution 1889 on women, peace and security, as well as launching aninitiative to consult with other UN members to build the council’s annualreport in a more comprehensive and pragmatic manner.

According to Trung, right after concluding the2008-2009 tenure, Vietnam continued running for the post of a non-permanentmember of the council for the 2020-2021 tenure.

Over the past 30 years of reforms, the role andposition of Vietnam in the international arena have been raised. In the fieldof peace and international security, Vietnam has made practical contributions andtaken an active part in multilateral mechanisms on disarmament andnon-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Particularly, Vietnam was one of the first 10 countries to ratify the Treaty onthe Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty).

Since 2014, Vietnam has sent forces to the UNpeacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic and South Sudan. Vietnam’ssecond bid for a seat at the UN Security Council is a continuous affirmation ofthe country’s policy of becoming an active member and a reliable andresponsible partner in the international community.

It also presents an opportunity for Vietnam to contribute to ensuring peace,stability and development in the region and the world.

German’s Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS)Foundation’s representative in Vietnam Peter Girke said he hoped Vietnam willfulfill its missions of building and ensuring security and peace in the regionand beyond if it is elected to this position.-VNA
