During a reception in Hanoi on Friday, Mr. Dam said the Vietnamese Government values the support of UNDP and Ms. Wiesen for Vietnam, especially during the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said he hopes UNDP will continue to work with the World Health Organization and other international partners to strengthen grassroots healthcare and preventive medicine to help Vietnam improve its readiness to respond to future diseases.
Wiesen promised to contribute more to the relations between Vietnam and the UNDP in the framework of the Country Program until 2026.
