Addressing a high-level debate on promoting sustainable development through infrastructure connectivity as part of a ‘Sustainability Week’ held by the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, Mr. Giang said that building a modern and harmonious infrastructure is one of three strategic breakthroughs identified by the Vietnamese government for sustainable development.
Mr. Giang said Vietnam is continuing to develop infrastructure connectivity with neighboring countries, including Laos, to promote regional and inter-regional connectivity.
