vietnam is one of the prime examples for implementing the UN Millennium Development Goals
it always show as a responsible member of the international community, actively contributing to the building of the better world.
I agree with President Truong Tan Sang that we will not reach the sustainable development goals if security, peace and stability is not guaranteed
but peace and stability in the region is seriously threatened by the East Sea dispute
China's ambition and intention of monopolizing the East Sea is the main cause of conflict
