Geneva (VNA) – Ambassador Le Thi Tuyet Mai, headof the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations (UN), WTO and otherinternational organisations in Geneva, led a delegation to a UNexhibition on 100 years of multilateralism that opened in Geneva on September20.

The UN, founded in 1919 with the name of “League of Nations”,was the first international organisation with a view to developing cooperationamong nations and to guarantee peace and security for them.

To celebrate 100 years of multilateralism, UN Geneva hasorganised numerous activities together with member states, observers, international organisations, and other partners, including local authorities,civil societies, and the private sector. The aim was to highlight the evolutionof multilateralism in various areas from the time of the League of Nations tothe present day, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
