She said the MoLISA suggests the government to allow holding annual high-level meetings on the delivery of global and ASEAN’s integration commitments, as well as activities to realise the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025 as committed by Vietnam and other member states.

The ministry proposed urging ministries, agencies and localities to promptly fine-tune plans to carry out Project 161, assigning it to coordinate efforts in the project and realise the Community’s initiatives on environment protection and human resources development in the new context.

Participants discussed benefits brought by ASEAN in politics and security, Vietnam’s ASEAN economic integration process, ASEAN Network of Smart Cities initiative and Da Nang’s activities, among others.

They also looked into advantages and disadvantages in the process of project implementation, including the lack of personnel, funding and access to information.
