Vietnam elected to UN Women’s Executive Board for 2025-2027
VOV.VN - The UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) on April 9 (US time) elected Vietnam to the Executive Board of the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) for the 2025 to 2027 term.
Following this election, from January, 2025, to the end of 2027, the country will engage in co-ordinating the building and implementation of major orientations of the UN Women whilst ensuring that the agency’s strategies and activities are consistent with the UN's overall goals and policies aimed at promoting gender equality and women's empowerment.
As a member of the Executive Board, the nation will also become involved in the process of approving the agency's plans and programmes, as well as its administrative, financial, and budgetary decisions.
The consensus of all ECOSOC members to elect Vietnam to the UN Women Executive Board thereby demonstrates the international community's recognition and appreciation for the country's policies and achievements in terms of promoting gender equality and efforts to boost international co-operation in this field, as well as the belief that Vietnam will make positive contributions to the management of the UN Women in the time ahead.
Established back in July, 2010, the UN Women is the UN entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women.
