New York (VNA) - Ambassador Le Luong Minh, Head of the Vietnamese mission at the United Nations, on July 2 acted as Chairman of the UN Security Council by chairing an ambassadorial meeting to consider the Council’s July agenda. Opening the meeting, Minh highlighted Vietnam’s achievements in internal and external policies over the past 20 years of renovation. He emphasised that the country’s non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council is evidence of its open foreign policy with a clear message of befriending and partnering the international community for peace, independence, cooperation and development. In the new capacity, Vietnam will continue to work closely with all members of the council in all issues under the authority of the UN Security Council, vowed the Council’s new Chairman. All the UN Security Council members pledged close cooperation with Vietnam and expressed their belief in the country’s would-be-successful mission while congratulating the country’s new role in the council. The meeting was followed by a press briefing and another meeting presided over by the Vietnamese Ambassador to inform UN members of the Security Council’s July agenda, both had strong audiences.--Enditem
