VOV.VN - Vietnam has recorded many achievements in protecting and promoting human rights, said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Do Hung Viet at a press briefing in Hanoi on April 15 to announce Vietnam's National Report under the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC)’s fourth cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism.

The amended Land Law, which was passed by the Vietnamese National Assembly in January 2024, will help protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors and owners who are overseas Vietnamese (OVs), thus making the real estate market more transparent and stable, according to Nguyen Minh Duc, Vice President of the Vietnamese Community Association in the UK (VAUK).

The Land Law (revised), which expands land use rights for overseas Vietnamese (OV) and Vietnamese citizens residing abroad, meets the aspirations of OVs and contributes to mobilising investment resources to Vietnam at the same time, said Nguyen Duc Hieu, standing member of the National Assembly (NA) Economic Committee.

Many Vietnamese in Laos have shared the belief that the amended Land Law, passed by the National Assembly earlier this year, will significantly contribute to national socio-economic development.

Vietnam has co-sponsored the UN’s first resolution on artificial intelligence (AI), which highlights the promotion of safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems that will also benefit sustainable development for all.

An overseas Vietnamese (OV) has lauded the revised Land Law, which was passed by the Vietnamese National Assembly in January, highlighting its focus on attracting foreign capital and fostering connections between OVs and their homeland.

The expansion of land use rights for overseas Vietnamese (OV) in the recently passed 2024 Land Law is good news for OVs who want to own real estate in Vietnam, said experts from Savills Vietnam.

United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Representative in Vietnam Matt Jackson has affirmed that Vietnam has been putting gender equality, women’s empowerment, and human rights at the centre of development.

President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) Nguyen Dinh Khang has shared VGCL’s outstanding activities at the second conference of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) Presidential Council held recently in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
