The sixth ASEAN People’s Forum is due to take place in Hanoi from Sept. 23-26 under the theme, “Solidarity and Action for People-Centred ASEAN”.
As many as 700 delegates have registered for the event, including over 370 from key people’s organisations of member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The Permanent Deputy President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations, Tran Dac Loi, said at a press briefing on Sept. 22 that the forum aims at exchanging information and experiences while strengthening solidarity and cooperation between social movements and people’s organisations in ASEAN member countries.
Also high on the event are innovations and constructive measures that coordinate action among ASEAN People’s organisations to cope with common challenges emerging from the building of an ASEAN community.
The workshop also aims to increase public involvement in the policy-making process of ASEAN. To this end, people are encouraged to take part in the campaigning process and supervision, as well as to put forwards recommendations to the grouping’s leaders to build a people-centred ASEAN.
