In the letter, Party General Secretary and President Trong noted that the AIPA
has demonstrated its important role in and numerous positive contributions to
the process of building a united ASEAN Community and efforts to expand and
deepen ASEAN’s ties with dialogue partners.
“I highly appreciate AIPA 40’s theme of "Advancing Parliamentary Partnership for
Sustainable Community”, which is in accordance with the common theme of ASEAN
this year which is “Advancing Partnership for Sustainability,” Trong wrote in
the letter, noting that the theme delivers the AIPA’s cornerstone message on
becoming an important partner going side by side with ASEAN in the process of
development and building a strong, connected and dynamic ASEAN Community.
The Vietnamese leader stressed that ASEAN has reaped great achievements over the
past 52 years, but it is also facing many challenges, such as effectively
implementing set plans, maintaining the bloc’s central role, and enhancing
intra-bloc unity to deal with regional and global matters, especially those
related to peace and security in the region.
He was of the view that AIPA and ASEAN should continue to strengthen substantial
and pragmatic cooperation, connectivity and mutual support in the process of
building the ASEAN Community and realising the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, in
order to fulfil set targets at both national and regional levels, thus bringing
about practical benefits to people in the Community.
“As an active and responsible member of AIPA, the Vietnamese National Assembly
has been, and will actively participate in AIPA activities and in the
international and regional integration process, for the sake of peace,
prosperity and sustainability of the ASEAN Community,” Nguyen Phu Trong wrote.
He expressed the belief that under the chair of the AIPA 40 Chair, AIPA 40 will
be a great success with the close cooperation of delegates and the thorough
preparation of the Thai parliament.
