FAO Representative to Vietnam Rémi Nono Womdim said that in Vietnam, the proportion of the population that cannot afford a healthy diet is much lower than in neighbouring countries. They plan to mobilise more long-term resources supporting the province to implement programmes and projects on biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. He recommended UNESCO continue initiatives and programmes to promote sustainable development goals (SDGs) in education, enhance the effectiveness of the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities, and combine culture and heritage for sustainable development. They emphasised Vietnam's exemplary role in harmonising the conservation and promotion of heritage values and sustainable development. To implement these programmes, the Government has issued an action plan and established the Central Steering Committee for the National Target Programme on Sustainable Poverty Reduction.
