Since officially joining the United Nations on September 20, 1977, Viet Nam has evolved from a recipient of aid to a trusted partner and a responsible, active member of the international community, promoting peace, stability, cooperation, and development.

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.
