He highlighted six solutions for Viet Nam to successfully implement these goals in the remaining half of the journey, namely placing people at the centre of all decisions, enhancing the quality of human resources, strengthening the management and efficient use of resources, protect the environment, mobilising and effectively utilising financial resources for the work, and further improving the availability of data to serve the monitoring and evaluation of the SDGs implementation.
The official took the occasion to highlight Viet Nam's commitment to continue playing its role as a responsible member of the international community and actively contributing to joint efforts so that no individual or nation is left behind in this process.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by UN member states in September 2015, with the focus on 17 SDGs. The VNR is considered a mechanism for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the Agenda and SDGs on a global scale. Viet Nam first developed and presented its VNR in 2018./.
