(VOVWORLD) - Vietnam will work closely with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), member states, and partners to ensure that no woman or girl is left behind, said Ambassador Do Hung Viet, Permanent Representative of Viet Nam to the United Nations, at the UN Women Executive Board’s second regular session in New York on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ambassador Viet said that with limited time left to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Women’s Strategic Plan for 2026–2028 will renew global commitments to advancing gender equality and reaffirm the agency’s crucial role within the UN development system.

The Ambassador said the implementation of the Strategic Plan should be development-oriented, respect national decision making, and align with the priorities, capacities, and cultural and historical contexts of each country, while also remaining consistent with broader UN reform efforts.

The Vietnamese diplomat underlined the priority of narrowing the digital gap and promoting women’s leadership in the digital economy and AI governance.
