Vietnam has pledged to continue boosting cooperation with the Francophone community.

The message was delivered by Permanent Deputy Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh at a ceremony to mark the Francophone Day held at the International Convention Centre in Hanoi, on March 20.

The Vietnamese diplomat affirmed that Vietnam, in the new post as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, will continue to strive for peace, security, cooperation and development, and other noble goals pursued by both Francophone and international communities.
