Phong told the press that the conference, set to take place in Geneva from July 29-31 to debate the theme “A world in turmoil: Parliamentary cooperation and multilateralism for peace, justice and prosperity for all”, will bring together parliamentary leaders from nearly 120 countries, reflecting the international community's shared concerns and demand for cooperation to settle global challenges.
The top Vietnamese legislator, Phong said, will deliver remarks at the plenary session and conduct bilateral meetings with the IPU President and Secretary General, along with parliamentary leaders from multiple nations. These engagements aim to strengthen bilateral relations across all sectors, particularly parliamentary cooperation.

He noted that the Chairman is expected to propose specific measures and call upon national parliaments and the IPU to join forces and uphold international law to resolve disputes through peaceful means while addressing environmental challenges for collective sustainable development.
NA Chairman Man will attend the sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Switzerland, engage in bilateral activities there, and pay official visits to Senegal and Morocco from July 22 to 30.
