Since joining the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on July 28, 1995, Vietnam has been an active participant and contributor to the regional integration journey and the Community-building process, said ASEAN Secretary-General Dato Lim Jock Hoi.
Becoming a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has brought about great benefits to Vietnam in various fields, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Quoc Dung.
The governments of Vietnam and other ASEAN member states always create best conditions for businesses to boost connectivity and promote creativeness to realise their business initiatives in the ASEAN market with a population of 630 million people and total GDP value of nearly 3 trillion USD, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said on November 25.
The National Assembly of Vietnam always pays special attention to issues related to gender equality and women’s development and is willing to cooperate with other ASEAN member nations in this field, said NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.
Representatives from over 20 ministries and sectors gathered at a meeting in Hanoi on December 14 to review the ASEAN cooperation in 2016 and orientations for the time to come.
