The leader of the Vietnamese delegation is Nguyen Hoang Nguyen, Minister Counselor and Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN. In the session, Vietnam proposed several priorities, namely narrowing the digital divide, strengthening women’s leadership in the digital economy and AI governance, and mobilizing sustainable financing for gender equality initiatives in line with each country’s national priorities and context. Vietnam also advocated for genuine women’s participation and leadership across all areas of public life.

One of Vietnam’ suggestions for UN Women is to consider the specific needs of developing countries, including capacity-building, equitable financing, and inclusive development, VNS reported.

The Vietnamese diplomat highlighted the country’s marked achievements, including women accounting for 30% of National Assembly deputies and 28% of business leaders. Vietnam's ranking in the Global Gender Gap Index has also improved, rising from 87th in 2021 to 72nd in 2024. He also emphasized the adoption of the National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security developed with UN Women's support as a key step forward.

Such contributions reflect sustained commitment to international efforts to promote gender equality and women's empowerment, he said.
