UNDP always attaches importance to cooperation with Viet Nam
UNDP Resident Representative in Vietnam Ramla Al Khalidi (L) and Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son
At the reception, Son lauded UNDP’s contributions to Viet Nam’s socio-economic growth, particularly in epidemic prevention and control and post-pandemic recovery.
He suggested that the UN body continue to offer its support in terms of resources, policy advice, and experience sharing to Viet Nam to implement its industrialisation and modernisation, and the 2021-2030 socio-economic development strategy.
He also proposed further assistance for Viet Nam to implement commitments on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and negotiate the establishment of a just energy transition partnership (JETP), focusing on completing the legal framework, access to finance and technology, and improving governance capacity.
The minister hoped for more attention from UNDP to be paid to other important sectors such as digital transformation, and mine action, among others.
