At the meeting in Hanoi on Tuesday, VUFO Chairman Vu Xuan Hong said his organization has set up a network connecting thousands of foreign partners around the globe and stepped up activities to promote peace, solidarity, and friendship. It has brought into full play its core role in such events as the Asia-Europe People’s Forum, the ASEAN Peoples’ Forum, and the Vietnam Peace and Development Foundation. He asked the diplomats to help promote cooperation, solidarity, friendship, people-to-people exchanges, and NGO affairs. The new diplomats said they will work closely with the VUFO to effectively implement people-to-people diplomacy and diplomatic tasks assigned by the Party and State.
