The AIPA-47, themed "Parliaments Securing a Peaceful, Prosperous, and People-centered ASEAN," is scheduled to take place in Manila, the Philippines, from November 16-22.
Viet Nam officially became a member of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Organization (AIPO) (now AIPA) on September 19, 1995.
Since then, the Vietnamese National Assembly has actively and proactively participated in AIPA activities, and made responsible contributions alongside the parliaments of other member countries to strengthen ASEAN's central role, solidarity, and unity.
It has also worked to promote intra-regional cooperation and expand multifaceted relations with parliaments both within and beyond the region.
Viet Nam successfully hosted the AIPO-23 in 2002, and the AIPA-31 and 41 in 2010 and 2020, which helped promote its image and showcased the unique aspects of its people, culture, and landscape to friends and partners both in the region and around the world./.
