At the event, delegates highlighted the role of political parties in Asia-Europe cooperation, affirming that the parties’ expansion of relations has contributed to tightening ties between countries and kick-starting initiatives to improve regional connectivity.

Participants signed a memorandum of understanding in which they agreed to intensify cooperation among political parties, develop inter-parliamentary collaboration, and increase the efficiency of the Asia-Europe connectivity process.

Speaking at the seminar, Quan said that the Asia-Europe partnership has become the world’s largest inter-regional cooperation model.

To ensure that cooperation results match the two continents’ full potential, he suggested that both sides maintain efforts and diversify cooperative methods to lift the ties to a new height, with attention paid to collaboration between political parties.

The CPV believes that cooperation between political parties will contribute to stability and development in each country, as well as to peace and prosperity in the two continents and the wider world, he added.

On the sidelines of the seminar, the Vietnamese official held meetings with representatives of participating parties.

He also had working sessions with representatives from the Prosperous Armenia Party and other political parties in Armenia, during which he affirmed that the Vietnamese Party, State, and people always attach great importance to consolidating friendship with traditional friends, including Armenia.
