Over the past 50 years, ASEAN has become a unified community with a common vision and identity, according to Le Thanh Liem, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee.
Easier flow of traffic and frequent economic and cultural activities between members with a population of nearly 630 million people have brought the countries closer, Liem added.
The exchange programme offers opportunities for people in ASEAN to introduce their cultural and historical values to international friends, bolstering mutual understanding and solidarity and contributing to a sustainable, self-strengthening and dynamic ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community.
The official voiced his hope that through the event, ASEAN businesses will seek more cooperation and optimise economic benefits brought by the ASEAN Community. He also encouraged ASEAN firms to join hands to create made-in ASEAN products.
The programme, which runs until April 22.

Vietnam joined the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN on July 28, 1995. This was Vietnam’s significant and historic decision. Over the past 22 years, Vietnam has consistently considered ASEAN a foundation and one of top priorities of its foreign policy. Vietnam has worked closely with other ASEAN members to boost integration and internal solidarity.
50 years after its establishment, ASEAN has become a strong community with a growing role and stature globally. Since joining ASEAN in 1995, Vietnam has contributed to ASEAN’s successes, including the adoption of the 2007 ASEAN Charter, the Hanoi Declaration on ASEAN Vision 2020, the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, and Master Plans implementing the 3 pillars of politics-security, economics, and culture-society.
