The affirmation was made by the top Vietnamese legislator at the Meeting of the 46th General Assembly of the ASEAN Inter‑Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA-46) Executive Committee in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on September 17.

In his speech, Chairman Man hailed  Malaysia’s thorough preparations, and welcomed the support of member parliaments for draft resolutions initiated by Vietnam and submitted for adoption at AIPA-46.

These drafts focus on bolstering cooperation in priority areas such as digital economy, digital transformation, cybersecurity, intra-regional trade, and partnership effectiveness, as well as the enhancement of the role of parliamentary diplomacy in maintaining regional peace and stability.

The session, hosted by Speaker of the Malaysian House of Representatives and AIPA-46 President Dato' Johari Bin Abdul, featured the participation of heads of delegations from AIPA member parliaments and the AIPA Secretary-General. As the first major activity of the general assembly, the meeting reviewed and agreed on its agenda, committee discussions, draft resolutions, and other important issues to be adopted.

Delegates laid stress on the significance of AIPA-46’s theme, “Parliament at the Forefront for Inclusive Growth and Sustainable ASEAN,” noting its alignment with ASEAN’s 2025 chairmanship theme of “Inclusivity and Sustainability.”

They emphasized that the theme demonstrates the responsibility and commitment of member parliaments to reinforce solidarity and build a resilient, innovative, dynamic, and people-centered ASEAN Community.

The same day, Vietnamese NA deputies joined the 4th ASEAN-AIPA dialogue on building an inclusive and sustainable future, the Women Parliamentarians of AIPA (WAIPA)’s Women Political Leaders Forum, and a discussion of AIPA young parliamentarians.
