He proposed the Group continues to promote common positions in other frameworks. Giang also proposed organizing activities between the Group and other UN member states to enhance dialogue and share information about important activities, initiatives, experiences, and practices of the Group in each country regarding education.

The Group of Friends for Education and Lifelong Learning was established in 2020 to commemorate the International Day of Education on January 24. The Group currently has nearly 50 members.
