With more than 60 activities, the trip fulfilled all goals and requirements set out both bilaterally and multilaterally, making it a practical step in realising the foreign policy of the 13th National Party Congress and the Party Central Committee Secretariat’s Directive 25, raising the level of multilateral diplomacy and further strengthening relations with neighbouring countries in ASEAN, which are very important partners of Vietnam.

In the first CLV Parliamentary Summit, top legislators of the three countries signed a joint statement on promoting the parliamentary role in bolstering the comprehensive cooperation among the three countries, in which they re-affirmed their commitment to expanding and deepening the parliamentary cooperation and partnership with a view to maintaining and protecting the close collaboration for common benefits among the three parliaments, thus contributing to promoting collaboration across politics, security, defence, culture and economy for the socio-economic development in the CLV countries.
