This is an opportunity to highlight and further the good cooperative relationship between Vietnam and UNESCO, he added, saying since joining UNESCO in 1976 Vietnam has been a prime example of effective collaboration and continuous nurturing of its relationship with UNESCO.
According to Xing, Vietnam has been entrusted to play key roles in five essential bodies of UNESCO. Additionally, Vietnam remains a trusted partner of UNESCO in proposing and launching initiatives aimed at enhancing the role and position of UNESCO in the new global context.
UNESCO will continue to work closely with Vietnam to achieve national priorities, he said, adding that it will help the country with resources and knowledge to update and implement its cultural policies and legal frameworks, hasten a series of flagship projects and best practices in public-private partnerships, and enhance the autonomy of women and youth. UNESCO is dedicated to ensuring equitable and inclusive quality education for all, promoting lifelong learning opportunities that are crucial in today's digital age.
The organization will work closely with the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology and a team of experts to develop an ethical ecosystem for artificial intelligence (AI) in Vietnam, which aligns with the implementation of Vietnam's national AI strategy, Xing said.
