The trip is made at the invitations of President of the Senegalese National Assembly El Malick Ndiaye, Speaker of the Moroccan House of Representatives Rachid Talbi Alami, IPU President Tulia Ackson, and IPU Secretary-General Martin Chungong.

This marks NA Chairman Man’s first working trip in his capacity to Switzerland, and his first official visits to Morocco and Senegal. The trip aims to strengthen and further develop the friendly and mutually beneficiary relations between Vietnam and Senegal, Morocco, and Switzerland, deepen cooperation between Vietnam and the African and European regions, and diversify Vietnam’s economic and trade partnerships. It also seeks to expand collaboration across various fields, including parliamentary ties, and mobilise international resources to serve national development goals in this new era of the nation's rise, while raising the profile and stature of both Vietnam and its legislature on the global stage.
