Taking place from October 25 – 28, the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Meetings are the most important and extensive events of Malaysia’s ASEAN chairmanship this year, drawing the participation of leaders from bloc member states, Timor-Leste, and partner countries.

The attendance of PM Chinh and the Vietnamese delegation underscore the country’s commitment to active participation, responsible contributions and cooperation with ASEAN member states to consolidate the bloc’s centrality and amplify its collective voice in promoting peace, stability, and sustainable development.

The trip also reaffirms Viet Nam’s consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, cooperation and development, and diversification and multilateralisation of external relations.
