Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN, attended the UN General Assembly’s emergency special session on Ukraine on Wednesday, one year since the conflict began.
Giang underscored the need to abide by international law and the UN Charter, especially the fundamental principles of respecting independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and not using or threatening to use force.
Vietnam holds that the international community should protect security and personal safety, ensure that people’s basic needs are met, and protect and maintain facilities, and infrastructure essential to human life, Giang said.
He highlighted Vietnam’s appeal to the UN, countries, and international organizations and partners to continue delivering assistance to vulnerable people and support the UN and the UN Secretary-General’s efforts to find a peaceful solution. Vietnam is ready to make contributions within its capacity to diplomatic, reconstruction, recovery, and aid efforts in Ukraine.
