PM Dung told his guest that the current trend is peace, friendship, cooperation and development but many countries are suffering from ongoing armed conflicts in many areas. Therefore, the UN’s peacekeeping role is becoming increasingly important and necessary.
PM Dung took the occasion to thank United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for raising his voice over the tension in the East Sea sparked by China’s illegal placement of the drilling rig Haiyang Shiyou 981 in Viet Nam’s waters.
As an active and responsible member of the United Nations, Viet Nam commits to doing its best to consolidate peace and promote development on global scale, affirmed PM Dung.
For her part, Ameerah Haq said he will convey PM Dung’s message to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon so that the United Nations will take more practical actions to maintain peace and stability in the region and the world.
She went on to say that the launch of the peacekeeping center in Viet Nam will help boost cooperation between the country and the United Nations in advancing the global peace and security agenda.
The United Nations official praised Viet Nam’s participation in global peacekeeping operations as these tasks are becoming increasingly complicated and dangerous.

Haq said peacekeeping activities are increasingly complex and dangerous, requiring more forces. Only in the last three months, the UN has increased additional 38,000 troops for Congo, Somalia, Central Africa and South Sudan.
She said the UN praised Vietnam’s contributions in this crucial period and affirmed that her agency will support two Vietnamese officers to ensure safety for them.
Right after China placed its drilling rig Haiyang Shiyou- 981, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon stressed the need to resolve the issue peacefully on the basis of respect for international law, Haq said.
