He delivered his remarks at the First Biennial Summit for a Sustainable, Inclusive, and Resilient Global Economy in New York, held on the sidelines of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 80) High-Level General Debate.

Deputy PM Son said the proposals were made as Vietnam’s Government draws on its experience in refining its legal framework, driving reforms, and removing bottlenecks to attract high-quality ODA to meet current financing needs for institutional, infrastructure, and human resource breakthroughs in pursuit of the SDGs.

The first proposal is to place people at the center of all policies and strategies so that no one is left behind.

Second is to prioritize development finance for new growth drivers such as science and technology, innovation, green transition, and digital transformation, to prevent technology gaps from becoming new barriers to sustainable development.

And third is to adopt a comprehensive global and regional approach to accelerate reforms in financial governance toward greater transparency, fairness, and inclusiveness, while encouraging stronger participation from regional institutions, particularly those led by the Global South.
