Ambassador Nga on behalf of the Government and people of Vietnam thanked the UN agency for its precious support and cooperation to Vietnam.
UNDP was among the first to come to help Vietnam to rebuild the country after many decades of wars, she said.
With the assistance of UNDP together with other UN agencies and development partners, Vietnam has made great strides in reconstruction, poverty reduction, implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and now moved on the new path of inclusive and sustainable development.
UNDP also plays an important role as the lead agency in successfully implementing Delivering As One (DAO) in Vietnam, making UN assistance more focused, strategic, coherent, efficient and effective, she added.
In her speech, the Ambassador highlighted the role and contributions of the UN agency over half a century, saying that the UNDP has always been on the "front-line of a global war on want", playing a leading transformational role in reducing poverty, empowering people, protecting the environment and building resilient nations around the world

The SDGs are the 17 ambitious goals that set out the world’s development agenda between now and 2030, and include a commitment to eradicate poverty, reduce inequality as well as spread peace and justice.
Government leadership is vital for achieving the SDGs together with partnerships with civil society, the private sector, philanthropy and the multilateral system.
Working together we can achieve our goals of a world which is free of poverty and inequality
Using the Sustainable Development Goals as our guide, a world where economies and societies are more inclusive can be built and the planet can be protected from the worst effects of climate change and other forms of environmental degradation
UNDP has helped build institutions, increase resilience and support countries as they implement vital reforms.
the 2030 Agenda presents a new strategic vision that reflects the aspiration of humanity to live in a world of peace and prosperity
it creates a framework and sets the direction for all nations to collectively respond to common challenges, in the three pillars of economic, social and environment.
maintaining peace and security on the basis of respect for international law is a precondition for the successful implementation of the SDGs
successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires strong political will and full and effective mobilisation of domestic resources, and it is imperative to strengthen the global partnership for sustainable development.
We hope that the 2030 Agenda will be implemented for the interest of all peoples of the world, for a safer and better life for the children of today and tomorrow.
