This marks Vietnam’s second term on the legal body, following its initial tenure from 2019 to 2025.

As a member of UNCITRAL, Vietnam will continue to engage directly in shaping international trade law in the five-year tenure.

With the GDP of 430 billion USD (ranked 35th globally), a trade volume of 681 billion USD (among the world’s top 20 trading nations), and a network of free trade agreements with over 60 countries, including major economies, Vietnam is an active member of UNCITRAL in building global legal frameworks, and trade policies toward an open, fair, and transparent trading system.

Established in 1966, UNCITRAL is the UN’s principal body for the harmonization, and unification of the law of international trade./.
