Guterres has sent his warmest congratulations to the Vietnamese Government and people on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Vietnam National Day on September 2.
He said the Vietnamese army has been joining the UN's peacekeeping activities, and Vietnam’s leading role in fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals lays a solid foundation to carry out the Sustainable Development Program 2030.
Vietnam has been making important contributions to supporting sustainable peace in its capacity as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC), Guterres said.
The 75th anniversary of Vietnam's National Day is concurrent with the time when Vietnam assumes the roles as ASEAN Chair and UNSC non-permanent member, reflecting its strong presence on the international arena, he added.
