UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has extended his warmest congratulations to both the Vietnamese Government and people ahead of the country’s 75th anniversary of National Day, which falls on September 2.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on September 28 (Vietnam time) had separate meetings with President of the UN General Assembly Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres as part of his activities during the 73rd Session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
