The Vietnamese N.A. appreciates the Secretary General’s attention and support, which have contributed significantly to the success of major IPU events hosted by the legislature, most recently the 9th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians in Hanoi in 2023, he said.
These events were not only significant for the IPU but also marked important milestones in Vietnam’s international integration and the development of its parliamentary diplomacy, the legislator stressed.
He praised the Secretary General for helping elevate the role, standing and voice of parliaments and parliamentarians on the international stage, including young and women lawmakers, in pursuit of the IPU’s shared goals of peace, democracy, prosperity and sustainability for nations and people worldwide.
For his part, Chungong thanked the Vietnamese legislature for its consistent partnership with the IPU in successfully implementing priority programs, strategies and activities.
He affirmed his continued support for the N.A. in multilateral parliamentary diplomacy, the application of science and technology in its work, and its increasingly active role and contributions within the IPU.
The two sides agreed to step up close coordination in the time ahead to enhance cooperation between the IPU and Vietnam.
