Strengthening multilateral activities of many inter-parliamentary organisations

The three-day meeting (April 27-29) co-hosted National Assembly (NA) Committee for External Affairs and Vietnamese sub-committee in the Francophone Parliamentary Assembly (APF) partakes in Hanoi.

The meeting attended by NA Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu, the APF Secretary General along with parliamentarians of APF members focuses on the committee’s operations, parliamentary activities and inter-parliamentary cooperation programmes with a view to enhancing the role played by the APF in the Francophone community.

“The Vietnamese NA greatly values APF principles and practises. The APF has actively participated in the institutional operations of the Francophone community, initiating and carrying out activities to promote inter-parliamentary cooperation and solidarity between the parliamentary institutions. 

In its capacity as APF Deputy Chairman, Vietnam has been actively engaging in the organisation’s activities with a view to boosting the friendship, cultural exchange, and cooperation for mutual development between APF member countries.” Luu said.

He also announced the Vietnamese NA’s hosting of the 132nd Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Hanoi in 2015 and voiced his conviction that the meeting of the ongoing APF Parliamentary Affairs Committee will contribute to reinforcing the ties of friendship, cooperation and solidarity between countries.
