As part of April´s working agenda, about 30 UNSC official meetings are expected to be held, putting the accent on protection of essential infrastructure for was-affected people´s lives.

According to Hung Viet, Vietnam’s first priority is to strengthen cooperation between the UN and regional organizations in order to promote trust-building and dialogue in conflict prevention and resolution.

In this regard, he stressed, it is about Vietnam´s constant efforts since the beginning of its mandate as a non-permanent member of the UNSC in 2020.
