General Secretary of the Communist Party of Việt Nam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm, along with a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, arrived in New York on Sunday evening (local time), beginning his participation in the High-Level General Debate of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81) and a series of bilateral engagements in the United States.
General Secretary and President Lâm and the delegation were welcomed at John F. Kennedy international airport by Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Nguyễn Quốc Dũng and Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Việt Nam to the UN Đỗ Hùng Việt and staff of the embassy and the mission.
Relations between Việt Nam and the UN are at a stage of strong and substantive development. General Secretary and President Lâm’s attendance and address at UNGA 81 high-level debate are particularly significant as Việt Nam and the UN look ahead to the 50th anniversary of their relations.
