According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Nga - Head of the report development team, Vietnam is likely to achieve 5/17 SDGs by 2030.

In order to maintain the achieved results, in the coming time, Vietnam needs to make efforts, turn challenges into actions and opportunities, and continue to mobilize the participation of stakeholders in a more active and effective way to achieve the SDGs by 2030.

Despite the encouraging achievements, Vietnam still faces many difficulties and challenges in maintaining the achieved achievements and towards the completion of the SDGs by 2030.
