Viet Nam reaffirms support to UN's financial reform
As the UN depends not only the proper management of resources but also financial contributions provided by member states, to improve the situation, Thang said at the 5th Committee of the 59th Session of the UN General Assembly on improving the financial situation of the UN, suggesting the UN focus on dealing with the two issues in tandem.
The UN should place the reform of the planning and budgeting as one of the most important components in its comprehensive reform, Thang noted.
"We understand that the reform process would not be an easy one, but we believe that it will finally enable our Organization to manage and implement better the increasing number of programmes and activities in a more cost-effective and efficient manner so as to better serve member states," Thang said.
He added "
Regarding the second issue, Thang held that UN member states should honour their financial obligations to bear the expenses of the UN in accordance with the Charter.
However, Thang pointed to the fact that in some cases serious circumstances may prevent member states, especially the developing countries, from paying their assessed contributions in full and on time.
