The policy consultation meeting of G20 parliamentary speakers concluded
in Ottawa , Canada , on September 4 (local time).
Speaking at the closing ceremony, Speaker of the Canadian Senate Noel Kinsella highlighted the significance of parliamentary diplomacy that allows participating parties to discuss issues of common concern, thus strengthening mutual understanding and experience sharing to jointly build basic solutions for global key issues.
Speaker of the Republic of Korea National Assembly Park Hee Tea expressed his hope that with the success of the first meeting, G20 members will consider the hosting of the next consultation meeting in Seoul later this year.
Six debate sessions during the two-day meeting focused on three topics, including strategic coordination in meeting demands in food production and distribution, new model for peace and food security, and financial and economic models to boost global economic stabilisation.
Vietnamese National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong presented the country’s stance on food security which attaches importance to developing agriculture, rural areas and farmers in its socio-economic development strategy.
He said Vietnam ’s achievements in agricultural development and food security during over 20 years of renewal, especially its experiences in liberalisation of agricultural production that helped the country quickly shift from a food importer to one of the world’s leading rice exporter, were highly valued by the international community.
The Vietnamese NA leader affirmed that as one of the world’s leading rice exporter, Vietnam commits itself to making active contributions to the world’s food security as well as supporting joint efforts to stabilise food prices, ensuring benefits for both producers and consumers, especially in developing countries.
After successfully implementing the 2+1model of agricultural cooperation with several countries through technical assistance, exchanges of experts and experience sharing, Vietnam is ready to cooperate with other countries and international organisations to expand this model, he added./.
