Mr Trong, who is director of the Steering Committee for the organization of the  conference, said that the preparatory work must be sped up to secure the event’s success. He gave specific assignments to each and every member of the Committees as well as to subcommittees.

All preparation, including drafting documents, gathering information, finalizing the agenda and conference security measures must be completed on schedule, said Mr. Trọng.
