Vietnam supports equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution, human rights protection
Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN has underlined that it is necessary to enhance global solidarity, promote the production and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccine at a reasonable cost in a timely and universal manner across the world.
He made the statement during a deliberation of the Third Committee - Social, Humanitarian & Cultural Issues of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) chaired by Ambassador Mohamed Siad Doualeh (Djibouti), which will run from September 30 to November 19, within the 76th session of the UNGA.
Quy took the occasion to express Vietnam’s gratitude to partners, international organisations and people of countries worldwide for their support to Vietnam's fight against COVID-19.
To recover better and leave no one behind, he laid stress on a need for transitional leadership and strong political will, stating that recovery policies must ensure sustainability and inclusion.
Short-, mid- and long-term measures need to place people at the centre, with a focus on poverty reduction and hunger elimination, education and healthcare provision for all, he added.
The Ambassador affirmed that human rights protection is for all countries’ interest and the promotion and protection of human rights should be based on constructive approach and dialogues.
In addition to not intervening in internal affairs, countries should respect territorial integrity and political independence in line with principles of the UN Charter and international law, as well as respect historical, social and cultural conditions, along with the context of nations' development.
Civil rights and political, economic, social and cultural rights or those for development must be treated as equal.
The Ambassador reiterated that promoting and protecting human rights are of top priority, an ultimate goal and momentum for Vietnam’s sustainable development.
He touched on Vietnam' achievements in the fields in recent times, as well as the country’s commitments to engaging in dialogues and cooperation with UN bodies, special rapporteurs and independent experts of the UN Human Rights Council, in order to protect and promote human rights.
Participating countries said that they encounter obstacles in socio-economic development and vaccine access, especially African nations.
Furthermore, they expressed their concern about difficulties facing women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities, together with those of ethnic groups and immigrants./.

Vietnam will work with countries and people around the world to prevail over the COVID-19 pandemic, and build a world of peace, prosperity and happiness for all
THe peace of the world is not an easy thing, it takes efforts of all nations and people around the world, therefore we should protect it with all of our hearts and strength
Vietnam is working with the UN as the center and taking international law as the foundation to jointly cope with complex global challenges such as wars, conflicts, resource disputes, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which are negatively impacting peace, security and development in the world.
the most urgent issue right now is to control the COVID-19 pandemic through international cooperation
priority allocation of vaccines should be given to nations with a low vaccination rate
developing countries should be enabled to engage in vaccine production and supply chains
The key solution to contain the pandemic and foster economic recovery lies in each nation’s ability to strengthen its resilience
Resilience can only be sustained if it is based upon cooperation and connectivity among nations, particularly at a time when non-traditional security challenges do not know borders and can impact any nation
Vietnam is among the countries which is severely hit by Covid-19
At the early time of Covid-19, Vietnam was the top face-mask provider all over world for free or lowest price
Vietnam is working closely with fellow ASEAN members to promote ASEAN centrality in the maintenance of peace, security and prosperity in Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific at large
Short-, mid- and long-term measures need to place people at the centre
the entire nation is vigorously combating this pandemic to protect the health and lives of the people, to sustain economic growth and to ensure social security, leaving no one behind.
No statistical figures can truly measure grief and loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic sounds a warning bell of the shocking destruction that may be caused by non-traditional security challenges such as diseases or climate change, if they are not addressed at timely and decisively.
The pandemic has also exposed the shortcomings of the global governance system and the increasing inequality among nations.
COVID-19 is not the sole challenge that we are facing today
Increasing tensions among major powers has led to a divisive and unstable international system
what really motivates us are the strong desire for peace, cooperation and development among the people around the globe
For the pandemic to be repelled, it is essential that we stand in solidarity, uphold a high sense of responsibility, and step up cooperation
