Since joining in 1995, Vietnam has always actively participated in and contributed to the community's initiatives and action programs.
In the next development journey, with the determination to realize the strategic goal of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the nation and the policy of enhancing Vietnam's contribution and responsibility in world politics, global economy, and human civilization, in line with the ASEAN Community Vision to 2045, Vietnam clearly understands the responsibility to proactively participate and contribute more to the common work, with the motto of creativity in thinking, innovation in approach, flexibility in implementation, effectiveness in approach, and determination in action.
