A/HRC/57/7
40.
Inclusiveness and participation were key principles in public governance in Viet Nam.
Economic development and social progress in Viet Nam had been enabled by peace and
stability. While constructive criticism was always welcome, it was important to note that
spreading misinformation, endangering stability or infringing upon national security would
not be tolerated. It was not permitted to act in violation of the law in the name of exercising
freedom of speech, freedom of assembly or any other freedom or right. Viet Nam emphasized
the importance of balancing individual rights with the collective well-being and security of
the nation.
41.
In its concluding remarks, the delegation of Viet Nam recognized the diversity of the
opinions and recommendations expressed in the dialogue, which reflected the diverse
interests and concerns of different countries. Viet Nam emphasized that while universal
human rights values should be upheld, diversity and particularities must be respected, and
there was no single model applicable to every country in the pursuit of human rights. Viet
Nam reaffirmed its confidence in continuing on the chosen path to build a strong, democratic,
just and civilized society, in which the people were placed at the centre of development, and
its commitment to working closely with all stakeholders and partners in the review process.
