The working trip of National Assembly (NA) Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn for the 152nd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU-152) in Istanbul, bilateral activities in Türkiye, and an official visit to the Italian Republic from April 11–17, was a great success.
This was the first official overseas trip by the NA Chairman following the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV), the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly, and the consolidation of Việt Nam’s State apparatus for the new term. It represents a timely and effective implementation of the foreign policy set out at the 14th Party Congress, contributing to affirming Việt Nam’s position and diplomatic thinking.
The outcomes of the trip not only reaffirm Việt Nam’s image as a proactive and responsible partner in promoting parliamentary cooperation and strengthening multilateralism, but also create clear new momentum to advance relations between Việt Nam, and Italy and Türkiye in the coming period.
The IPU-152 Assembly, themed “Nurturing hope, securing peace and ensuring justice for future generations,” was held amid ongoing complex global developments. The Vietnamese delegation, led by NA Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn, participated proactively, actively, and responsibly, making substantive contributions to the overall success of the Assembly.
