Regarding development, Việt Nam has always been regarded by the United Nations and other countries as a typical example with consistent policies, active cooperation and significant contributions.
After over 20 years of renovation, the country has reaped many important socio-economic achievements highly appreciated by the international community. Its initial successes in overcoming the economic crisis are helping Việt Nam realize the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
