National Assembly Chairwoman Ngan, who is also the chair of AIPA 41, said Viet Nam would also serve as Chair of ASEAN in 2020, so the National Steering Committee and Organizing Committee for AIPA 41 would work closely with the National ASEAN 2020 Committee to organize and chair major events of AIPA in 2020.
She said Vietnam would strive to build AIPA into a close-knit and effective organization, meeting the interests of member parliaments.
General Secretary of the NA and Chairman of the NA Office Nguyen Hanh Phuc announced two resolutions of the NA Standing Committee on establishing the National Steering Committee and the Organizing Committee for AIPA 41, which took effect on November 5.
Accordingly, the National Steering Committee for AIPA 41 has five members and is headed by NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.
The Organizing Committee for AIPA 41 has 27 members and is headed by Standing NA Vice Chairwoman Tong Thi Phong.
At the meeting, participants gave feedback on the report of the NA’s Committee for External Relations on preparations for the AIPA Chair Year 2020, focusing on the 41st General Assembly of AIPA slated for late August and early September 2020 in Ha Long City, Quang Ninh province.
