United Nations Secretary-General to make official visit to Viet Nam

The visit will be made at the invitation of President Luong Cuong, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced.

Cooperation between Viet Nam and the UN over the last 48 years (September 20, 1977–2025) has contributed to protecting national interests, particularly in strengthening a peaceful and secure environment conducive to development, fostering deeper international integration, thus improving Viet Nam's position on the global stage.

The Southeast Asian nation deployed 493 military officers to UN peacekeeping missions in South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Department of Peace Operations at the UN headquarters. It also deployed four Field Hospitals No. 2 at the UN mission in South Sudan and one engineering unit at the UN mission in Abyei (the area of dispute between South Sudan and Sudan). Viet Nam is among countries with the highest rate of female participation in peacekeeping operations.

Viet Nam is hailed by the UN and the international community as a successful example in implementing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and a country that is determined and committed to realizing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as the Paris Agreement on climate change./.
