Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, permanent representative of Vietnam to the United Nations met with Jean-Pierre Lacroix, UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations in New York on Monday. He said Vietnam will continue to support and call on other countries to support the UN to overcome challenges in peacekeeping operations.

The Ambassador suggested that Lacroix and relevant agencies of the UN continue to support the country in capacity building, especially its training capacity for military forces and peacekeeping police, as well as in the rotation of forces at missions and other practical assistance. This will help the nation to better meet the requirements and needs of the UN in the process of carrying out peacekeeping operations, he added.
