The Communist Party of Vietnam will continue to play an active and responsible role in the ICAPP’s activities, for peace, cooperation and development in the region and the world as well, she affirmed.
The delegates reviewed the operation of the ICAPP after the 35th meeting, and focused discussions on the ICAPP’s activities from now to the end of this year and well as in 2022, especially preparations for its 20th founding anniversary, and cooperation between the ICAPP and the United Nations.
The ICAPP was set up in September, 2000 with an aim to boosting exchange and cooperation among political parties in Asia. After 20 years of establishment, it has affirmed its role in promoting cooperation in the region through the role of political parties./.
