By establishing diplomatic relations with 192 countries, establishing a stable and long-term relationship framework with 30 strategic and comprehensive partners around the world, and having economic and trade relations with more than 230 countries and territories, Vietnam's prestige and position are increasingly appreciated and welcomed and supported by international friends.

The world is looking to Vietnam

Appreciating Vietnam's ever-increasing role in the international arena, Canadian Ambassador to Vietnam Shawn Steil said that part of the contribution to this is Vietnam's economic growth. Vietnam is leading the region, and possibly the world, in economic growth. The world is increasingly looking to Vietnam as a manufacturing hub.

Ambassador Shawn Steil believes that soon, Vietnam will not only be a place of manufacturing but also a place of creativity and innovation. We will not only buy products made in Vietnam but also products invented in Vietnam. Vietnam’s future is bright, and Canada sees Vietnam increasingly demonstrating its leadership role regionally and globally. And with a partner like Canada, there is no limit to what Vietnam can do.

Appreciating the commitments and actions of the Vietnamese Government in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Ms. Ramla Khalidi, Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Vietnam, said that Vietnam has made commitments towards sustainable development goals.

“That is very welcome. I think all countries in the world are struggling to achieve the sustainable development goals. Factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine and a number of other crises have all increased the challenge of achieving the sustainable development goals. However, I think Vietnam has made impressive progress on many of the goals.

Vietnam ranks 51st out of 165 countries in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals index. You have made significant progress in 5 out of 17 goals including education and poverty reduction, clean water...,” Ms. Ramla Khalidi shared.

According to the UNDP Resident Representative, Vietnam is a model for poverty reduction, especially in a short period of time. “I think many countries will look to Vietnam to learn those lessons. Congratulations and I really look forward to UNDP continuing to work with the Government of Vietnam in addressing the remaining challenges of the sustainable development goals and the new challenges of the 21st century,” said Ms. Ramla Khalidi./.
