Vietnam seeks stronger legislative ties with Canada

Vietnam values its relationship with Canada and hopes to work together to strengthen their comprehensive partnership for mutual benefit, contributing to peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific and globally, National Assembly Vice Chairman Nguyen Duc Hai told Canadian Ambassador to Vietnam Perry Shawn Steil.

At a reception in Hanoi on November 4, Hai welcomed Canada’s policy of enhancing engagement with the region and the world, as well as its new Indo-Pacific strategy, which underlines the importance of ASEAN's central role.

The Vietnamese NA wishes that cooperation between the two legislative bodies would continue to strengthen, in line with the positive development of the comprehensive partnership, he said.

To bolster this collaboration, he suggested facilitating the exchange of all-level delegations, fully leveraging existing cooperation mechanisms, and exploring the establishment of new cooperation frameworks to boost collaboration in trade, investment, green transition, digital transformation, hi-tech industry, manufacturing and processing, energy, sci-tech, education-training, national defence-security, and response to non-traditional security challenges such as climate change and water resources management.

Hai also sought the Canadian legislature's assistance to the Vietnamese NA in improving the capacity of lawmakers, sharing experiences related to the NA’s oversight role in the implementation of international treaties and global minimum tax, building an electronic parliament, and advocating for peaceful settlement of maritime disputes in the region in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter.

Steil, in turn, vowed to raise a strong voice to further develop cooperation between the two legislatures, and facilitate the exchange of all-level delegations and the sharing of experiences in law making, supervision, and enforcement.
