PSNews - According to Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang, the third ASEAN Future Forum (AFF) in Hanoi will feature a wide range of activities, including plenary sessions on resilience, conflict prevention, artificial intelligence (AI), energy security, and development models.
As the host of APEC 2027, Vietnam will work closely with other member economies and partners to deepen regional economic integration, promote green growth, and foster a favourable environment for cooperation and development to build an Asia-Pacific region of peace, stability, and prosperity.
PM Chinh underscored the importance of reinforcing ASEAN’s strategic self-control by strengthening the bloc's solidarity and centrality. An ASEAN with strategic self-control must be consensus-driven, cohesive, balanced and flexible in its external relations. The bloc should play an active role in shaping the regional order and fostering international cooperation amid growing global uncertainties.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has demonstrated its resilience and effective response to great challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and fierce competition between big countries, according to Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ha Kim Ngoc.
