Vietnam has joined Nepal and Bangladesh as members of the United Nations’ Commission for Social Development (CSD) for the 2012-2015 term.
Vietnam’s membership in the commission was declared at the 50th annual meeting of CSD.
This event showed the international community’s recognition of Vietnam’s development achievements in recent years as well as its contributions to the world social development process.
As a CSD member, Vietnam will have the chance to contribute to planning policies, developing targets and action programs at the global level to promote social progress and increase coordination, and sharing information between governments on devising and implementing national-level social development policies.
CSD is an agency under the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC).
The CSD session is taking place from February 1-10.
