During his reception for Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, the UN Secretary-General congratulated Viet Nam on winning a seat on the UN Human Rights Council for the 2023-2025 term.

He informed the diplomat that he would pay an official visit to Viet Nam later this year to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Viet Nam's accession to the UN at the invitation of President Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

According to Guterres, the visit aims to send a strong message about the UN's importance of the Viet Nam-UN partnership over the past 45 years.

Viet Nam is an indispensable member of the UN, and has made significant contributions to the UN's common work in addressing global challenges, and promoting global peace and development, he said.

Ambassador Giang emphasized the significance of the Secretary-General's visit and affirmed that Vietnam is committed to making active contributions to the UN’s common work, such as promoting the Sustainable Development Goals, responding to climate change, and maintaining international peace and security.
