The Vietnamese delegation also attended the APPF-31 executive committee's meeting held the same day, and will offer opinions during the APPF-31’s discussions in the coming days, thereby affirming the Vietnamese NA’s strong commitment to responsibly engaging in multilateral parliamentary diplomatic activities, contributing to further upholding Vietnam's role and position in regional parliamentary cooperation mechanisms.
