He told a consultation workshop in Hanoi on Friday on the draft National Report of Vietnam for the 4th cycle UPR of the UN Human Rights Council that by following nine recommendations of the UN Development Program on sustainable poverty reduction, Vietnam has become one of 25 countries that successfully implemented multidimensional poverty reduction.

Vietnam is also one of the few countries to submit a voluntary mid-term report on implementing third cycle UPR recommendations, he added.

Ramla Khalidi, Acting UN Resident Coordinator in Vietnam, said the country has actively participated in UPR recommendations and fulfilled its obligations on sustainable development.

She affirmed that the UN will continue to cooperate with Vietnam, other countries and international organisations to further protect rights to freedom and justice for everyone.
