She added that an important basis for ensuring and promoting human rights is to uphold multilateralism, strengthen solidarity and cooperation in response to global challenges, and ensure global peace. In this process, it is necessary to uphold the principles of respecting national independence and sovereignty, not interfering in internal affairs, staying objective and ensuring non-politicisation of human rights issues. All human rights should be considered equally, with greater attention to economic, social, cultural and development rights. The Vietnamese official also highlighted Vietnam’s achievements over the past years such as inclusive and sustainable economic growth, legal and institutional reforms to better ensure human rights, especially vulnerable groups. In the spirit of “mutual respect, dialogue and cooperation, ensuring rights for all people”, Vietnam will work closely with other UN member states and stakeholders to ensure and promote human rights, she stated.
