Vietnam will continue joining in works of the UN and international organisations in Geneva, he affirmed.
The ambassador also expressed his joy at the recent fruitful development of the relations between Vietnam and the UN, especially after Ban Ki-moon’s visit to Vietnam last year.
Vietnam values the General Secretary’s contributions to promoting the UN’s agenda and enhancing UN-Vietnam ties, he stressed.
