Vietnamese President To Lam expressed support for a two-state solution and called for an end to United States sanctions on Cuba during remarks at the United Nations General Assembly.
To Lam also called for reforms to the General Assembly, the Security Council and the UN Secretariat, saying such changes would strengthen the effectiveness of the United Nations as an institution.
The Vietnamese leader's remarks touched on several long-standing issues on the UN's agenda, including the decades-long US embargo on Cuba, which has been the subject of repeated General Assembly votes calling for its end, and the unresolved conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
