HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam has remained a high human development country through the difficult years of the COVID-19 pandemic, and human development continues to be a focus of the country’s development strategy. That was the message from UNDP Resident Representative Ramla Khalidi, as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) announced its new report. Achim Steiner, administrator of the UNDP, congratulated Việt Nam on the many important achievements in human development it has obtained over the recent past. The Human Development Index (HDI) has bounced back and stood at the highest-ever level since the HDR was first released in 1990. The UNDP’s Human Development Report, released every two years, is compiled basing on contributions by many experts from UN agencies, member states, international organisations, and non-governmental organisations.
