Minister Counsellor Nguyen Hoang Nguyen, Chargé d’affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission to the UN, stressed that aside from the focus on multilateral diplomacy at the UN, the mission and other representative bodies also attach great importance to the coordination with and support for domestic localities as seen in various activities held in the four pillars of political diplomacy, economic diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, and consular affairs - citizen protection.
