Nearly 70 diverse and effective activities

Could you please share the outstanding results of President Luong Cuong's working trip to attend the High-Level Debate of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, combined with bilateral activities in the United States?

Deputy Minister Dang Hoang Giang: From September 21-24, President Luong Cuong and his wife, along with a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, attended the High-Level Debate of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, combined with bilateral activities in the United States. The trip took place at a very meaningful time when both Vietnam and the UN celebrated their 80th anniversary and Vietnam and the United States celebrated the 30th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations.

With nearly 70 diverse and effective activities, President Luong Cuong's working trip was a great success, achieving all the set goals at a high level, leaving outstanding marks in many aspects, both multilaterally and bilaterally. Overall, the working trip is a step in implementing Vietnam's foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, multilateralization, proactiveness, activeness, comprehensive, deep and effective international integration in the international arena.

Through the statements of countries at the High-Level Debate of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, and in the exchanges between countries and the President at bilateral meetings, it is clear that peace, cooperation and development continue to be the common trend and the aspiration of people around the world. Most countries also continue to promote multilateralism, in which the UN plays a leading role, the UN Charter and international law continue to be the "anchor" for countries to promote cooperation to solve common problems and protect national interests. This is an important foundation for countries, including Vietnam, to maintain and strengthen a peaceful and stable environment, and focus resources on development.

The messages of the President and the Vietnamese high-ranking delegation at the United Nations, a global multilateral forum, are among the positive voices supporting multilateralism, multilateral cooperation, and the central role of the United Nations, the United Nations Charter, and international law in solving global issues. The statements of President Luong Cuong and the Vietnamese high-ranking delegation at the United Nations and with countries and international friends have also brought to the world the story of Vietnam rising from the ashes of war and poverty to become a developing country with average income, with great potential, entering a new era, an era of strong and prosperous development.

What is very meaningful is that Vietnam's commitments are not only in words but also in very practical and concrete actions such as continuing to be an active and responsible member in important UN mechanisms (UN Human Rights Council, International Law Commission, agencies of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization - UNESCO...), chairing major multilateral activities of the UN such as the signing ceremony of the UN Convention against Cybercrime (October 2025), Chairing the Review Conference of the UN Convention on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 2026, continuing to actively deploy peacekeeping activities...

Also on this occasion, Vietnam and Tuvalu signed a Joint Communique establishing diplomatic relations between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and Tuvalu. By signing this Joint Communique, Vietnam became one of the few countries that has diplomatic relations with all countries in the world and all members of the United Nations.

Regarding bilateral cooperation with the United States, the President and the Vietnamese delegation also brought the message of "putting the past behind, overcoming differences, looking towards the future" in the context of the two countries celebrating 30 years of establishing diplomatic relations and 2 years of establishing the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. If the President's extremely emotional meetings with veterans of the two countries and friends and progressive people of the United States clearly expressed the message of gratitude, healing and reconciliation after the war, then the President's meetings with the US government, the US Congress, state governments, businesses and large corporations of the United States further reinforced optimism about the prospect of developing the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, for the benefit of businesses and people of the two countries.

With the above outstanding results, could you please tell us how Vietnam will coordinate with its partners in the coming time to implement these important cooperation contents?

Deputy Minister Dang Hoang Giang: Following closely the results achieved during the President's working trip, in the coming time, Vietnam will promote implementation, specifically as follows:

Firstly, continue to participate proactively, positively, responsibly, creatively and effectively in the activities of the UN and other multilateral forums. Through specific commitments and practical initiatives, we demonstrate our own role and identity, and at the same time make contributions commensurate with Vietnam's role and position. In the immediate future, Vietnam will carefully prepare and organize well the signing ceremony of the UN Convention against Cybercrime next October.

Second, promote in-depth relations with countries and organizations through enhanced cooperation within the framework of international and regional organizations as well as close and regular exchanges and cooperation on security, political, regional and international issues of common concern, effectively implementing commitments to maximize support and assistance from the international community and important partners in terms of resources, contributing to national development.

With the United States, maintain meetings and exchanges of delegations at all levels, especially at high levels, continue to promote cooperation in the fields of economics - trade - investment, security - defense, science and technology, innovation, artificial intelligence (AI), transportation, education and training, the pillars of cooperation in bilateral relations. The two sides will also make efforts to cooperate in resolving the consequences of war, while continuing dialogue to resolve remaining differences in bilateral relations.

Thank you very much, Deputy Minister./.
