Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Nguyen Sinh Hung had a meeting with Speaker of the House of Representatives of Japan Tadamori Oshima on August 31 while attending the 4th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in New York, the United States.

At the meeting, the Vietnamese NA chairman spoke highly of the Japanese legislature’s contribution to the success of the 132nd Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly (IPU-132) held in Hanoi as well as its support of the friendship and cooperation between the two countries and their peoples.

The two nations should continue holding high-level meetings on a regular basis and ramp up exchange activities between the two parliaments and their representatives as well as the friendship parliamentarians’ unions to further strengthen the bilateral strategic partnership, Hung proposed.

He hoped for the persistent support of the National Diet of Japan in implementing signed high-level economic agreements and urged the continued provision of official development assistance from the Japanese Government to help Vietnam develop into an industrialised nation by 2020.

Speaking of the regional tension in the East Sea, Chairman Hung said that Vietnam maintains its stance of settling the current dispute via peaceful resolutions in accordance with international laws and hopes involved parties will soon agree upon a Code of Conduct (COC) in the East Sea.

Vietnam sincerely thanked Japan and its National Diet for the support in this matter, he added.

For his part, Speaker Oshima praised the strong development of the Extensive Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity in Asia between Vietnam and Japan and reaffirmed that Japan treasures its relationship with Vietnam—which is regarded as a key focus in its external policies.

The same day, NA Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung visited Vietnamese staff of the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations, who he congratulated on the occasion of the 70 th founding anniversary of the diplomatic sector (August 28, 1945).

He hoped the permanent mission would work tirelessly to unite the overseas Vietnamese community in New York and inspire love for their home country.

NA Chairman Hung arrived in New York at 8:00 am on August 30 (local time) to take part in the 4 th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament from August 31 to September 2 at the invitation of President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Saber Chowdhury.

The NA Chairman is scheduled to participate in the general debate titled “Placing democracy at the service of peace and sustainable development: Building the world the people want” and the panel discussion “Translating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into action”. He will chair a discussion on “Mainstreaming the SDGs in the budget and legislative process, overcoming silos, monitoring national and global progress through parliaments”.

He will hold bilateral talks with IPU President Saber Chowdhury, the President of the United Nations General Assembly and several speakers of parliament at the sidelines of the event.

He will also preside over a banquet at the UN headquarters to celebrate the 70 th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day (September 2) with many diplomats and overseas Vietnamese nationals in the US in attendance.-VNA
