UNITED NATIONS — Peace was the prerequisite for development, Ambassador Đặng Hoàng Giang, Việt Nam’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), has affirmed. He said the UNSC needed to work more effectively in preventing conflicts, arms races and resolving conflicts by peaceful solutions. Giang believed that the UN, including the UNSC, needed a comprehensive approach to promote peace and sustainable development, breaking the vicious cycle of conflict and poverty. More than anyone else, Việt Nam understood the importance of promoting socio-economic development and ensuring the welfare of the people in maintaining peace and stability, said Giang. The UNSC plays an important role in ensuring international peace and security to create conditions for development.
