The Cooperation Framework guides collaboration in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Vietnam has, together with the UN, outlined four key development outcomes: inclusive social development; climate change response, disaster resilience, and environmental sustainability; shared prosperity through economic transformation and governance; and access to justice.
Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that the Cooperation Framework will be implemented at a time when Vietnam has strengthened its post-pandemic economic recovery, responded to climate change, and transitioned to a green, circular economy.
“Together with other development partners, the UN plays an important role in supporting Vietnam’s development, integration, and participation in global development through policy advice to the Government. It has helped share Vietnam’s experience with other developing countries and introduce international experience to ensure a sustainable, green growth economy that balances economic and social development,” he said.
UN Resident Coordinator in Vietnam Pauline Tamesis said the principle of leaving no one behind runs through the Cooperation Framework as the fundamental commitment of the UN in Vietnam.
