HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc on Thursday expressed his belief that the 37th ASEAN Summit and related meetings would be a success thanks to the close co-ordination of ministries and agencies.

The Government leader told a meeting in Hà Nội that preparations for the most important events during Việt Nam’s chairmanship of the Southeast Asian bloc, to be held online from November 12-15, have been completed.

According to the PM, there will be 20 major meetings and a record number of 80 documents expected to be approved.

Important statements and resolutions must be issued at the 37th ASEAN Summit and related meetings, he said, asking ministries and heads of ASEAN SOM to prepare ahead of the event in the spirit of consensus.

He said the ministries need to review and complete plans and documents, and urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare scenarios scientifically.

The information work should be stepped up to improve Việt Nam’s position, he said, suggesting selecting major streets for decoration in anticipation of the summit.

For the ASEAN Business Summit, PM Phúc stressed the need to call for co-operation between enterprises and make thorough preparations and detailed discussions.

He suggested inviting major partners like the EU, and including issues regarding free trade agreements (FTAs) on the agenda.

This would be an opportunity for Việt Nam to lure more investors and firms, especially in the context of the country successfully containing the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.

The preparation for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement is of special significance, he said, requesting the ministries to pay due attention to speeches to be delivered at the event. — VNS
