Vietnam appreciates the positive perspective of the Special Rapporteur regarding the country's achievements, commitments, and vision for comprehensive development, the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, poverty reduction, resilient infrastructure development, innovation promotion, and ensuring the participation, contribution, and enjoyment of the people in the development process.

It always places people at the center of all development strategies, viewing them as the subject, driving force, and beneficiaries. The country does not try to achieve economic development at the expense of the environment, stressed Dung.
