Vu Hai Ha, Chairman of the committee, said the IPU Secretariat highly valued the Vietnamese parliament hosting this forum. Agencies of Vietnam also shared the view that it holds great importance to the implementation of a directive on the enhancement and elevation of multilateral diplomacy, issued by the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat.
Chairman Hue noted the forum is a focal event of multilateral diplomacy of the Vietnamese parliament in 2023.
Following the organisation of the 132nd IPU Assembly and the 41st General Assembly of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), the coming forum will be a chance for Vietnam to promote its image among international friends, he went on, asking the committee to make the best preparations for the three-day function.
