LookAtVietnam – Vietnam supports the efforts to enhance the relationship between the United Nations and the African Union (AU) in maintaining peace in Africa, especially between the UN Security Council (UNSC) and the AU Peace and Security Council,

Ambassador Le Luong Minh.
At a UNSC open debate on the cooperation between the UN and the AU in the area of peacekeeping held in New York on March 18, Ambassador Le Luong Minh, permanent representative of Vietnam at the UNSC, highlighted the importance of enhancing the AU’s ability to carry out UN-mandated peacekeeping operations.

The Vietnamese diplomat commended the AU-UN Panel for its Report issued last December which contain many useful recommendations, especially those relating to capacity building, logistical assistance, funding, financing and division of responsibility.

Minh went on to point out the root causes of conflict in Africa that are political and social injustice, violation of human rights, absolute poverty and foreign interference. “The division of responsibility among different UN bodies in cooperation with the AU to remove these root causes should also be clarified for the same effect,” he stressed.
