As a non-permanent member of UN Security Council - Vietnam will be a trustworthy partner for world peace
9/6/19
Party General Secretary and State President Nguyen Phu Trong has affirmed Vietnam is a trustworthy partner for sustainable peace in a message following the country’s election to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for 2020-2021.
With 192 votes out of the 193 UN member nations, Vietnam has obtained a non-permanent membership seat on the UN Security Council for the 2020-2021 tenure.
That Vietnam received such dominant support has met the expectations of all Vietnamese people. It also shows that the country’s active, substantive and responsible contributions to the UN, including the UNSC, for the past many years have been recognised by the international community.
The near unanimous approval also shows the acknowledgement of Vietnam’s achievements in the renewal process. From a poor country after the wars, Vietnam has surpassed all difficulties to join and actively participate in important multilateral forums and organizations regionally and globally.
In addition, chairing ASEAN and being a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council in 2020 will facilitate Vietnam in strengthening regional common interest in the UN agenda, especially when Indonesia, an ASEAN member is also a UNSC non permanent member in 2020.
This is the second time Vietnam has won the position on the council, following its first stint during the 2008-2009 period.
As regulated, Vietnam will officially assume the role as a non-permanent member of the UNSC as of Jan 1, 2020.
On this occasion, Party General Secretary and State President Nguyen Phu Trong has affirmed Vietnam is a trustworthy partner for sustainable peace in a message following election.
On behalf of the Vietnamese Party, State and people, the leader offered sincere thanks to UN member states for supporting and electing Vietnam to this post for the second time.
He noted it is a great honour of Vietnam to become a non-permanent member of the UNSC, affirming the country’s right foreign policy. However, it is also a heavy responsibility that requires Vietnam make utmost efforts to fulfill tasks assigned by the international community.
With the new resolve, the strong belief in the whole Party and people’s strength and will, efforts and smooth, effective coordination among all-level authorities, ministries and sectors, along with the people’s support, Vietnam will successfully play its role as a non-permanent member of the UNSC, deserving being a trustworthy partner for sustainable peace./.

Many foreign diplomats have expressed their belief that Vietnam will be able to fulfil its responsibility well if it is elected as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for 2020-2021.
Vietnam’s current position in the region shows that the countries is attached to peace and it is not by chance that Vietnam is selected and supported by countries in the region.
The election represented the recognition of the principles of independence and cooperation that guide Vietnam’s foreign policy.
Congratulating Vietnam on topping the UNSC ballot with 192 of 193 possible votes! And delighted to see Vietnam serving on the Security Council next year.
Vietnam would work to address not only the traditional challenges, but also the emerging non-traditional challenges to international security.
As a strongly growing economy in ASEAN, Vietnam is playing an active and effective role in the region and the world.
As a nation that has emerged from decades of war, Vietnam would contribute to the UNSC based on its experience of rebuilding, particularly dealing with landmines, which are a deadly problem in many areas.
This election result meets the aspiration of all Vietnamese people and proves that after over 30 years of reforms and international integration, the prestige, role and position of Vietnam within the framework of the UN and on the global arena have been increasing.
With its efforts over years, Vietnam is recognised as an active and responsible UN member, playing part in promoting sustainable development in the region and the world. This will help the country get more chances to share its experiences in promoting sustainable development.
Vietnam will successfully play its role as a non-permanent member of the UNSC, deserving being a trustworthy partner for sustainable peace.
As a representative of Asia, Vietnam pushed the peaceful settlement of regional issues as well as well matters in other regions like Africa and the Middle East.
The country was able to flexibly handle its relations with powerful countries and those with common interests and traditional relations based on respecting and protecting the legitimate interests of stakeholders.
