NA discusses draft resolution on UN peacekeeping operations

HÀ NỘI – Deputies of the  一 四th National Assembly on Saturday discussed a draft resolution on Việt Nam’s engagement in UN peacekeeping operations, as part of the NA's ongoing  一0th session.

According to Defence Minister Ngô Xuân Lịch, since  二0 一 四, Việt Nam has sent  一 七 二 officers and staff from the Ministry of Defence to UN peacekeeping missions in the Central Africa Republic and South Sudan as well as the Department of Peacekeeping Operations at the UN headquarters.

Currently, the Government is directing the ministry to prepare to send about  三 二0 sappers under the Việt Nam People’s Army to UN peacekeeping operations.

All officers sent to the missions have completed their tasks, he said.

In terms of finance, Việt Nam has received more than US$ 四. 八 million from the UN and more than $ 二0 million from the international co妹妹unity for the work, which has helped reduce State budget spending on the activities, he noted.

Meanwhile, as part of efforts to implement a project to send police officers to UN peacekeeping missions in  二0 一 四- 二0 二0, the Government is directing the Ministry of Public Security to train officers and work with UN agencies on the work.

Vietnamese police officers are scheduled to be sent to UN peacekeeping missions from  二0 二 一, said the minister.

Minister Lich noted that engagement in UN peacekeeping operations is a new task which has not been institutionalised, leading to obstacles during the implementation of the work.

He underlined the significance of building and issuing an NA resolution on UN peacekeeping operation engagement to review, supplement and issue new legal documents in the field to match international conventions and agreements to which Việt Nam is a signatory.

At the session, deputies listened to a report verifying the draft resolution delivered by NA Co妹妹ittee for Defence-Security Võ Trọng Việt, which showed the co妹妹ittee basically agrees with the need to issue the resolution to institutionalise the resolutions of the Party and rules of the Constitution and demands of reality in the field.

The co妹妹ittee also agreed on the consideration of the approval of the resolution at the  一0th session of the NA.

The majority of deputies also concurred to propose the NA to pass the draft resolution during the  一0th session.

During the session, Defence Minister Lich also answered questions raised by deputies on the draft resolution at the session. VNS
