At the meeting, Tran Van Hang, Chairman of the National Assembly Committee on Foreign Relations briefed Vietnam’s preparations in logistics and working agenda. IPU Secretary-General Martin Chungong said he is impressed by Vietnam’s efforts: “I realise that if we ask the Vietnamese National Assembly to host the meeting today, they will be ready to do so. My colleagues and I were very impressed by the preparations which have been done. Organising the assembly is a good opportunity for Vietnam to showcase the progress they have made and also for the global parliamentary community to share with Vietnam their own experience in boosting democracy and governance.”
