Meeting on the
sidelines of the 6th Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Assembly, they
discussed the UN’s efforts to improve the transparency, representativeness and
democracy of UN organisations to better support countries in realising the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development.
PM Phuc affirmed Vietnam’s support for making use of the outcomes and
experiences in implementing the "Delivering as One” (DaO) initiative to reform
the UN development system.
Vietnam is proud to be one of the countries taking the lead in the DaO
initiative and the first nation to have the Green One UN House, a symbol of the
Vietnam-UN cooperation as well as the resolve to enhance the UN’s connectivity
and efficiency, he said.
At the meeting, both host and guest agreed on the need to foster Vietnam’s
cooperation with the UN and the UNDP.
The Vietnamese leader lauded relations between the country and the UN over
the past four decades. He stressed Vietnam respects the UN’s central role,
adding it will continue making contributions to all three pillars of the UN,
which are peace and security, human rights and development.
2018 marks 40 years of Vietnam-UNDP cooperation. PM Phuc thanked the UNDP
for its support for Vietnam in the post-war and rebuilding period and the
implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and now the
Sustainable Development Goals.
For his part, Administrator Steiner said he was impressed with the
achievements Vietnam has obtained after more than 30 years of reforms,
especially successes in socio-economic development and fulfilling many MDGs
ahead of schedule.
He also lauded the UNDP’s friendly cooperation with Vietnam. He said
through the working sessions with Vietnam’s ministries and sectors on May 26,
he learned about the country’s development focuses, including adapting to
climate change and capitalising on opportunities brought by Industry 4.0.
Vietnam’s innovation spirit has inspired other countries, Steiner noted,
adding that the UNDP will stand with the country to continue supporting its development
process.

Muong Bi - Tan Lac, one of the four major Muong ethnic minority-inhabited regions in Hoa Binh, is known for not only its distinctive cultural identity but also its proud history of heroism, with great contributions to the victory against US invaders in the past. Today, Tan Lac district continues to uphold this legacy while embracing development and renewal.
March 3 marked the first official working day for specialised agencies under the provincial People's Committee following the merger or transfer of functions and tasks from the previous agencies. On this day, the newly merged departments and agencies took proactive steps to arrange personnel, organise workflows, and implement tasks efficiently, ensuring that administrative procedures were carried out smoothly without interruption.
Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has thoroughly implemented and adhered to Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on restructuring the organisational apparatus of the political system towards a streamlined, efficient, and effective direction, ensuring no disruption of work.
By mid-February, Da Bac district completed a plan to streamline its organisational apparatus and personnel work, marking a milestone in efforts to promote restructuring towards a leaner, more efficient organisational system, closely following directives from the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, and Conclusion No. 121-KL/TW, and Resolution No. 27-NQ/TU of the provincial Party Committee and Conclusion No. 1103-KL/TU by the provincial Party Organisation’s standing board.

The initiative has created a positive change, enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting spirit of Party organisations and their members.
