Statement of Viet Nam, October, 2015

Most importantly, we believe that it is vital to address the root causes that give rise to
violence and conflict, such as poverty, inequality and injustice. Women have an
indispensable role to play in building inclusive and peaceful societies. ASEAN therefore
calls for the full and effective implementation of the inspiring, universal and
transformative 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution
70/1), recognizing its strong interlinkages with the women and peace and security
agenda.
