Discussions will also address sub-regional cooperation, food and water security, environmental protection, and responses to non-traditional security threats.The engagement of National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man and the high-ranking delegation of Vietnam in AIPA 46 demonstrates the active, responsible role of the Vietnamese National Assembly in regional parliamentary activities and expanding relations with parliaments of other countries.“
