During the 66 th session, Vietnam actively participated in activities of many committees and organisations, including a high-ranking forum on South-South cooperation and a meeting of the Committee on Sustainable Development. The country also put forth a number of initiatives and recommendations that help improve the efficiency of these multilateral mechanisms.
