Highlighting the profound significance of Hanoi being chosen as the host city for the Signing Ceremony and the related High-Level Conference, Deputy Minister Dang Hoang Giang stressed that one UN convention officially entitled “Hanoi Convention” demonstrates that the international community has recognized Vietnam’s active and responsible contributions to the formation of this historic global legal instrument.

The Ministry of Public Security would coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant ministries and sectors in doing the work.

Deputy Minister Dang Hoang Giang informed that, as of October 6, nearly 100 countries and over 100 international and regional organizations had confirmed their attendance. Specially, he added that the event would be attended by Heads of State, Government leaders and ministers from various countries.

The two-day program will include the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, a plenary session, a signing ceremony, four high-level thematic discussions, four roundtable dialogues, a Gala Dinner and a Technology Exhibition jointly organized by the Government of Vietnam and the UN Secretariat.
