Vietnam attends 46th session of IFAD Governing Council
VOV.VN - Ambassador Duong Hai Hung, the nation’s permanent representative at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), attended the 46th session of the IFAD Governing Council in Rome from February 14 to February 15.
The session focused on “Accelerating Action for Food Security” amid the world facing the largest food crisis in modern history as progress stalls on achieving zero hunger.
The fund has therefore called for urgent investment to be made in transforming food systems. As the world’s fund for food and agriculture, it plays an innovative and vital role in accelerating action to ensure food security by supporting small-scale food producers.
Through effective co-operation over the past four decades, the IFDA has actively supported poverty reduction and rural development in the nation, especially in mountainous areas and those faced by extremely difficult circumstances.
It is in the process of carrying out numerous projects on smart agriculture and climate change response in the country.
In reply, the nation has also contributed to common activities of the fund through financial contributions, technical support, and three-party and south-south co-operation, as well as activities undertaken by the permanent representative.
