The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MoPI) has cooperated closely with ministries, agencies, localities, domestic and international organisations to devise a national action plan for the implementation of the agenda which has been submitted to the Prime Minister in November.
The action plan comprises 115 goals, including eliminating every form of poverty; ensuring food security and sustainable and comprehensive economic growth; improving nutrition; promoting sustainable agricultural development; ensuring access to sustainable, reliable and affordable energy sources; and promoting global partnership for sustainable development until 2030, among others.  
The action plan will also serve as a legal foundation for Vietnam to perform its commitments with the international community, responsibly contributing to the sustainable development-related global efforts.
From 2017 to 2020, the country will perfect sustainable development mechanisms, improve the efficiency of State management on national sustainable development, and ensure sufficient legal framework for the implementation of the action plan and sustainable development goals. 
The action plan is expected to help Vietnam make responsible contributions to common global efforts to strengthen sustainable development.
Addressing the event, Nguyen Le Thuy, deputy chief of the sustainable development office from the MoPI’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources Planning and Education stressed the need to rally the involvement of ministries, centrally-run and local agencies, including the media, socio-political organisations, business community, development partners and the entire public for the effort.
