As President of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) in 2020, Vietnam has demonstrated its determination and taken many initiatives in organising the 41st AIPA General Assembly (AIPA 41) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Head of the Lao National Assembly’s external relations committee Eksavang Vongvichit has said.
With the support of other members of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), Vietnam, as the AIPA Chair, will make every effort to successfully organise activities within AIPA Year 2020 as well as the upcoming 41st General Assembly of AIPA (AIPA 41), the top Vietnamese legislator has said.
In the midst of uncertainty and seemingly unending health and economic shocks brought about by the COVID-19 global crisis, the 41st General Assembly of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA 41) is in a strategic position to serve as a platform to coordinate and integrate efforts of AIPA member parliaments to help stem the tide of the contagion, according to a Philippine official.
