Vietnam supports peaceful settlement of conflicts
Vietnam pursues a foreign policy for peace, stability, cooperation and development, and supports efforts towards peaceful settlement of conflicts, said Vietnamese Ambassador Le Luong Minh.
New York (VNA) – At a plenary meeting of the General Assembly on the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy on Sept. 5, Ambassador Minh said Vietnam welcomed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s report on the activities of the United Nations system in implementing the Global Strategy.
“Vietnam always maintains that the measures to be taken against terrorism must be comprehensive, balanced and in compliance with international law, particularly the principles of national sovereignty, territorial integrity and non-interference in the internal affairs of States,” he stressed.
Vietnam emphasized the need to address the root causes of terrorism and insisted that terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization or ethnic group, he said.
The ambassador highlighted the paramount importance of international, regional and sub-regional cooperation and coordination, as well as the United Nations’ leading role in the implementation of the Global Strategy.
Minh affirmed that Vietnam has and will continue its full support and constructive contribution to the work of the UN Security Council’s subsidiary bodies mandated to work in the field of counter-terrorism.
The diplomat said Vietnam’s tremendous efforts in carrying out the 10-year Socio-economic Development Strategy to fulfil a number of Millennium Development Goals ahead of schedule, especially those in poverty reduction, will contribute positively to the maintenance of political stability, social and economic equalities and the rule of law in Viet Nam, which constitute important components of a preventive strategy against terrorism.
Vietnam is determined to strengthen the country’s capacity and develop cooperative ties with countries in the region and throughout the world to fight terrorism, ambassador Minh affirmed.
