He praised the coordination, preparation, and support of the diplomats for the upcoming working trip of National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man to attend the sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Switzerland. During the July 22-30 trip, Man will also conduct bilateral activities in Switzerland and make official visits to Morocco and Senegal.

These efforts will bring practical benefits to each country and contribute to peace, stability, and development in the region and globally.
He called on the diplomats to continue to promote and closely coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NA agencies, and other relevant ministries and sectors to ensure the success of the visit.
Sharing Giang's views, the ambassadors affirmed that Senegal, Morocco, and Switzerland attach importance to the Vietnamese top legislator’s working trip.
