5/3/14
GENEVA - Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh reiterated Viet Nam's commitment to ensuring and promoting human rights at the 25th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, Switzerland.
This is the first time Viet Nam has
attended the event as a member of the UNHRC. Leading the Vietnamese delegation,
Minh said that the country was "committed to playing its role with the
highest level of responsibility" and would prove a "reliable
partner."
Viet Nam was willing to "work constructively
on all matters related to human rights," Minh told listeners, "from
social security and sustainable development to the rights of ‘vulnerable
groups'". He also said the country would "try to attract more
attention from the Human Rights Council to the specific needs and circumstances
of developing countries facing new challenges such as climate change,
environmental degradation and the exhaustion of natural resources."
The Deputy PM noted that Viet Nam
pursued a consistent policy of protecting and promoting human rights,
considering the well-being of every person as the driving force of the national
development process.
"This policy not only
reflects the long-cherished aspiration of the Vietnamese people, but also
connotes the universality of human rights. Under this policy, the State of Viet
Nam has been exerting considerable efforts in protecting and promoting human
rights, as demonstrated in laws, policies and actual accomplishments," he
said.
Minh added that this was a
precious opportunity for Viet
Nam to learn good practices and experience
from the international community that could help further the cause of doi moi
(renewal) as well as the promotion and protection of human rights domestically.
"Viet Nam stands
ready to co-operate with all countries on this noble cause," Minh said. —
