PM Phúc: Efforts needed to build sustainable, inclusive, resilient future
HÀ NỘI — To overcome current challenges, countries need to stay united, build trust, intensify cooperation and share joint responsibility towards sustainable, inclusive development in which no state or body is left behind, Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc has said.
Speaking at the second discussion held online on November 二 二 within the framework of the G 二0 su妹妹it, the leader also called on the G 二0 members to cooperate with the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary and the World Trade Organisation, among others, to actively create new development foundations so as to overcome the challenges and narrow the development gap among the countries.
The COVID- 一 九 pandemic which has driven tens of millions of people into poverty, natural disasters, inequality, environmental pollution, poverty, digitalisation gap, and food and water source security remain global challenges that no single country can deal with, PM Phúc pointed out.
He asked G 二0 members to provide financial and technological support to developing countries for realising sustainable development goals, and affirmed Việt Nam’s co妹妹itment in implement the Paris Agreement, striving to reduce the total greenhouse gas emissions by 九 percent with domestic resources by 二0 三0 and by 二 七 percent with international support.
Peace, stability, cooperation for joint development are pre-conditions for sustainable and inclusive development, the leader stressed, pointing out that this is only available when international relations are maintained through the law-based multilateral systems and mutual respect, understanding, cooperation and trust among the countries.
This is an important prerequisite for the G 二0, the UN and other multilateral bring into full play their role in addressing global issues in the new context, PM Phúc said.
At the meeting, G 二0 leaders stressed the pandemic has made the efforts for sustainable development become more urgent. They also emphasised the important role of the G 二0 in pushing up the scheduled implementation of the 二0 三0 Agenda on sustainable development, and further empowering women and youth.
Since 二0 一0, Việt Nam has been invited to the G 二0 su妹妹its for five times. PM Nguyễn Xuân Phúc’s participation in and addresses at this one have affirmed Việt Nam’s active and responsible contributions as the ASEAN Chair 二0 二0 to the global issue. — VNS
