Undertaking the ACM Chair in the first six months of this year, the Vietnamese Embassy had already outlined the ACM’s detailed working plan, with 14 main activities across four pillars of political-security cooperation, economic cooperation, socio-cultural cooperation, and popularising the images of the ASEAN Community and member states in the host nation.

The plan was highly evaluated and received approval from other ACM member states, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Earlier, the Vietnamese diplomat successfully chaired a wide range of ASEAN activities when he served as the ACM Vice Chairman.

Dung’s efforts and contributions to ACM activities have helped elevate the position of ASEAN and its members to a new height in Spain.
