Addressing the opening ceremony, Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Tran Thanh Man said the meeting demonstrates the responsibility and proactive stance of AIPA (ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly) in addressing regional challenges in the new context, in line with the global trends and conditions of each country.

The hosting of the 14th AIPA Caucus by the Vietnamese NA is a practical activity to implement the Party and State’s foreign policy on strengthening multilateral diplomacy by 2030 and promoting the role and position of the legislative body in regional and global inter-parliamentary cooperation mechanisms, especially within AIPA, thus asserting Vietnam’s active, responsible, and proactive participation in AIPA.
