Addressing a virtual conference in Madrid held by the group of ambassadors of Asia-Pacific countries to Spain on August 12, the Vietnamese diplomat shared Vietnam’s experience in fighting the pandemic as well as easing the harmful effects of the health crisis to the national economy and society.
Despite numerous difficulties caused by the pandemic, Vietnam is still working to fulfill its role as the ASEAN Chair in 2020, he said.
Vietnam has been active in completing the agenda of the ASEAN Year 2020, working to accelerate the building of the ASEAN Community, and maintaining regional peace and security, thus actively promoting intra-bloc solidarity and joint efforts in the fight against the pandemic, Hai stressed.
A non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC) for 2020-2021, Vietnam has proposed practical initiatives and actively worked with other UNSC member countries to contribute to the realization of the UN’s common goals, including maintaining peace and security around the world, the diplomat pointed out.
