(VOVworld) – The UN office in Hanoi says Vietnam has completed 5 of the 8 Millennium Development Goals before the scheduled time. UN experts were speaking at a press conference in Hanoi on Thursday to assess the results of implementing MDGs in Vietnam and the world over the past 15 years.

17 Sustainable Development Goals for post-2015

Vietnam has only just obtained moderate results in the other 3 goals, including combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other epidemics, and ensuring environmental sustainability and building a global partnership for development.
UN experts said Vietnam should impose tougher policies and appropriate directions to quickly fulfill the remaining MDGs.
