The events took place on the sidelines of the ongoing 42nd ASEAN Summit in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia.
Addressing the dialogue with AIPA representatives, PM Chinh outlined three orientations for enhancing the effectiveness of coordination between legislative and executive bodies.
First, they need to boost coordination to perfect regulations and harmonise laws to remove barriers and bottlenecks, especially in trade and investment. Second, it is necessary to review and increase legal frameworks to facilitate intra-bloc labour flows. And third, in the face of the increasingly complex international and regional situations, AIPA should maintain solidarity and close coordination to join ASEAN in protecting and upholding the bloc’s principles and common stances, particularly respecting standards of conduct and complying with international law, he noted.
At the dialogue with the youth, the Vietnamese leader emphasised their pioneering role and encouraged them to participate in resolving social issues and take the lead in voluntary activities to bring positive changes to the community.
He affirmed that Vietnam pledges to join other member countries in creating the best possible conditions for the youth to develop, have their voice heard, and engage in making decisions about the future of the ASEAN Community.
The PM also proposed the ASEAN Community be turned into a “learning community” to help the youth develop their skills and into a “creative community” so that the bloc will become an incubator for young people to bring into play their creativity.
