The 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are in line with the long-term development strategy of Viet Nam.
the Government of Viet Nam is committed to mobilizing all resources and the participation of government ministries and agencies at all levels, organizations, communities and the people.
Viet Nam has paid particular attention to vulnerable groups such as the poor, people with disabilities, women, children and ethnic minorities through a number of policies aimed at promoting social equality to ensure that no one is left behind.
To date, Viet Nam is proud to have achieved a number of SDG-related results
The Government of Viet Nam has created an enabling legal environment and encouraged foreign and domestic private sectors to invest and do business in line with sustainable development principles.
to successfully achieve all 17 SDGs, Viet Nam requires technical and human resources, financial support, as well as strengthened cooperation and exchange of knowledge with the international community.
Viet Nam is eager to share its own experiences and innovative approaches with other countries.
Going forward, Viet Nam will therefore need to: improve society’s awareness of and mobilize all stakeholders’ participation in sustainable development efforts.
Viet Nam is confident that it will succeed in implementing the 2030 Agenda for current and future generations.
In our enduring commitment as a responsible member of the international community, Viet Nam will continue to contribute positively to global efforts aimed at leaving no one and no country behind. This is our global endeavour for sustainable development.
the commitment is being undertaken via promoting the country’s inner strength and international integration, and boosting public – private partnerships and ties with global partners to build a resilient and sustainable society where no one is left behind.
Ensuring peace and security based in respect for international law is key to the realisation of Sustainable Development Goals.
The country will fundamentally eradicate hunger by 2020 and totally get rid of hunger by 2025.
Regarding gender equality, it is targeted to create more opportunities for women and girls and considerably eliminate all forms of violence against them in public places and private spaces.
ministries and agencies are responsible for working out specific plans and programs to fulfill the goals not yet mentioned in the roadmap in accordance with the approved agenda program on sustainable development.
The goals of the agenda are to maintain sustainable economic growth associated with exercising social progress and equality and protecting the ecological environment; to effectively manage and use natural resources and proactively respond to climate change; and to ensure the people’s rights to promote their potential, participate in the development process and equally enjoy its benefits, with the aim of building a peaceful, prosperous, democratic, equitable, civilised and sustainable Vietnamese society.
The agenda has set out a vision for the fifteen-year period of development with seventeen SDGs and successive actions.
Each country in the world will devise SDGs appropriate to its domestic context, while deciding on how to integrate SDGs into the process of planning national development strategies and policies.
Over the past few years, Vietnam has actively organised activities aiming to implement the 2030 Agenda.
The action plan will be a legal base for Vietnam to implement SDGs and fulfill its commitments to the international community as well as to responsibly contribute to the global efforts aimed at sustainable development.
