The Vietnamese NA leader appreciated the contributions made by the IPU Secretary General to the organization of the conference.

The IPU Secretary General said the attendance of NA Chairman Hue and the Vietnamese delegation at the conference again showed that Vietnam is a responsible and active member of the IPU.

The two sides compared notes on the role of the UN, the key organization in multilateral cooperation.

The IPU chief welcomed the three proposals of Chairman Hue to further reform and enhance the effectiveness of IPU’s operation and role. The proposals include strengthening the tripartite partnership among the UN, IPU and Vietnam, promoting more substantial engagement of parliamentary meeting mechanisms alongside UN activities, and increasing IPU’s support for Vietnam in training in multilateral parliamentary diplomacy.
