He outlined Vietnam’s development strategy and foreign policy priorities, expressing his hope that Yang will bolster U.N. - Vietnam cooperation. This, he said, could include advancing ongoing programs and projects in Vietnam, supporting human resources training, and creating opportunities for more Vietnamese professionals to join U.N. bodies.
