At a meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union’s Standing Committee on Peace and Security held virtually in Geneva Monday, along with representatives from 34 other countries, Ha said financial resources should be mobilized strategically according to each country’s needs.
The Vietnamese NA asked participating parliaments to urge their governments to fulfil their post-2020 responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and make financial contributions if they have not yet completed the mission. Vietnam also urged other parliaments to help people affected by climate change and ensure that no one is left behind.
