Major powers should share achievements in sci-tech research for mutual development

Addressing the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York, the U.S. on Sept 22, General Secretary and President To lam said human intelligence has transformed the world, making life better, more developed, and more perfect in every aspect. 

To, however, said it is also humans who have caused the difficulties and challenges that humanity faces.

"The goal of sustainable development and the well-being of humanity must be placed at the center of our efforts and remain our highest objective," stressed To, who is the first Party General Secretary of Viet Nam to address this kind of summit.

He went on to say that scientific and technological achievements should be to promote cooperation, instead of being tools against nations, going against the aspirations for peace, development, equality and justice of nations. 

Human intelligence achievements must focus on economic development, building a fair and civilized society, improving life quality and alleviating poverty. 

Accordingly, To suggested more investments in medical research, education and training, digital transformation, green transition and solutions to serve the masses while minimizing investments in developing and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, for peace, stability, sustainable development, and equality among countries and nations around the world.

"In this turning point, we need to strengthen solidarity, cooperation and mutual respect, compliance with international law and the United Nations Charter and settle divergences and disputes through peaceful means. Major powers need to act responsibly and share common achievements in scientific and technological research for mutual development. The United Nations and regional organizations, including ASEAN must take the lead in coping with global challenges and harness opportunities from scientific and technological advances,", stated the General Secretary and President.

Viet Nam welcomes the documents adopted at this summit and hopes that these documents would be implemented seriously and effectively, affirmed To.

He expressed his hope that the United Nations, with its central and coordinating role, and international organizations would continue making more effective and stronger contributions to the goal of preventing dangers to rapid and sustainable development of the world right from today.

Viet Nam commits to actively and effectively contributing to the common efforts in building the world of peace and equal development for a prosperous and happy life of humanity, To emphasized./.
