Vietnam has been making efforts to implement the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs - 2030), he said, adding that Vietnam's decisions are geared towards sustainable development, so the application of science and technology or the allocation of resources are not aimed solely at high growth, but at the protection of its people and the environment.
