Speaking at the general debate the same day, Chairman Tran Thanh Man urged parliaments to enhance dialogue and build trust through the principle of “Dialogue over confrontation.”

He said parliamentary cooperation is a commitment to turning words into action, ideas into reality, and hopes into real opportunities for billions of people around the world. Therefore, those representing the people's will and aspirations must ensure that policies and laws are grounded in core values of peace, justice, and equality.

He said: "Parliaments need to maintain regular forums to discuss global challenges, from regional conflicts to transnational issues. "Dialogue over confrontation" is the only path to building trust and mutually beneficial cooperation among nations. We need to prioritize protecting human rights, reducing inequality, and ensuring that no one is left behind. Parliaments need to enhance their oversight to ensure that governments fulfill their commitments to social justice."

Chairman Man said the Vietnamese National Assembly remains strongly committed to multilateralism and parliamentary cooperation.
