With its journey of transformation - from war to peace and from underdevelopment to prosperity—and its experience in combining economic growth with social progress and environmental protection, Viet Nam can offer valuable lessons for efforts to foster trust and enhance the effectiveness of multilateralism, said Kanni Wignaraja, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific at the UN Development Programme (UNDP).

General Secretary of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee and President To Lam’s participation in the High-level General Debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81) and bilateral activities in the US from September 20 is expected to highlight Viet Nam’s commitment to multilateralism and international cooperation, as well as contributions to addressing global challenges.

Viet Nam's participation in BRICS as a partner country reflects its strong support for multilateralism and proactive contribution to multilateral cooperation mechanisms, while opening up opportunities to diversify markets, strengthen supply-chain connectivity and access resources for science, technology and innovation, according to Vietnamese Ambassador to India Trinh Minh Manh.

Viet Nam has been actively supporting the United Nations’ reform process, and the UN strongly encourages the Southeast Asian nation to continue voicing its support for efforts to make the organisation more effective, efficient, and responsive to global challenges.

Viet Nam's successful campaign to have the United Nations (UN) General Assembly select Ha Noi as the host city for the Opening for Signature of the UN Convention against Cybercrime (Ha Noi Convention) from October 25-26 represents a significant milestone in the nation's multilateral diplomacy, according to Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Dang Hoang Giang.

Multilateralism and practical defence cooperation are indispensable in building a fairer and more rational global security governance system, Vietnamese Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang told delegates at the first plenary session of the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum on September 18.

Viet Nam has reaffirmed its steadfast support for multilateralism and collective action under United Nations leadership, while calling on all countries, regardless of size or power, to fully comply with international law and the UN Charter.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on June 12 met with Speaker of the Riksdag (Swedish parliament) Andreas Norlén and leaders of political parties in Sweden as part of his official visit to the country.
