The document also asked the parties involved to exercise self-restraint, support principles of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and work to ensure aviation and navigation freedom in line with international law.
The document welcomed the establishment of the ASEAN Community and appreciated ASEAN’s efforts to uphold its central role in the region structure and boost its relations with the United Nations. It upheld the NAM’s stance on global issues, which underlines the role of international law, including basic principles of respecting countries’ sovereignty, not intervening in other countries’ internal affairs, peacefully addressing disputes, and stepping up disarmament.
The NAM reiterated the resolve to fight terrorism. It also voiced support for the reform of the UN, cooperation to cope with economic and financial crisis and emphasised developing countries’ need for official development assistance (ODA).
The movement said the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change should base on the principles of equality and responsibility while taking into account countries’ difference. It called on developed nations to realise their commitment to mobilising 100 billion USD before 2020 to respond to climate change.
The Non-Aligned Movement is the second largest international organisation in the world, after the United Nations (UN). It currently has 120 member states, 17 observer countries, and 10 observer organisations.

High on the agenda are measures to strengthen solidarity of the Movement and how to carry forward its role in promoting interests of its member countries in major issues like peace, security, disarmament, international system reform, cooperation development, climate change and the realisation of sustainable development goals. The Non-Aligned Movement is the second largest international organization in the world, after the United Nations (UN). It currently has 120 member states, 17 observer countries, and 10 observer organisations.
The view was shared by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez during their meetings in Margarita, Venezuela. The meetings took place on the fringe of the 17th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) which was hosted by Venezuela.
At both meetings, the two sides vowed to work actively to materialise commitments and outcomes of visits by Vietnamese and Venezuelan leaders, especially in strategic areas like agriculture and energy-oil and gas. To implement a joint agricultural project for 2015-2018, Vietnam has set up groups of experts and labourers who will be sent to Venezuela in October and November this year, said Deputy PM and FM Pham Binh Minh. He called upon the Venezuelan President to provide instructions on specific measures or mechanisms in order to raise two-way trade on the basis of the bilateral agreement on trade collaboration.
The two sides consented to soon convene the Vietnam-Venezuela Intergovernmental Committee’s meeting to mull over specific cooperation contents. The two sides also compared notes on regional and international issues, including those regarding the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the East Sea. The Vietnamese Deputy PM and FM said Vietnam hopes that Venezuela, as NAM Chair in the 2016-2019 tenure, will maintain the principles of the Movement, helping it grow stronger.
