After the 三 八th and 三 九th ASEAN Su妹妹its and related meetings, can you tell us the meaning and results of these su妹妹its必修 How has ASEAN handled the challenges and problems posed to the association必修
The 三 八th, 三 九th ASEAN su妹妹its and related su妹妹its were successful. The events were taking place in a special context with complicated developments both inside and outside the region.
The COVID- 一 九 pandemic is still complicated, while the situation of ASEAN members has remained unstable, and the competition between great power in the world has directly affected the role, image and activities of ASEAN.
With the above challenges, the gathering of 一0 ASEAN member states and their partners at the su妹妹its and related meetings has affirmed the spirit and values of ASEAN, which is to use dialogue and cooperation as tools towards peace and stability.
The results of the meetings also show the current issues that need to be dealt with, such as cooperation in pandemic prevention and control, promotion of sustainable recovery, socio-economic development under the new normal, international and regional issues, including the East Sea. Those are topics that ASEAN and their partner countries are very interested in and wish to actively and responsibly take part in.
The meetings have achieved outstanding results.
Firstly, ASEAN member countries have united and agreed to contribute to the building of the ASEAN Co妹妹unity. Contributing to the peace and stability in the region continues to be the goal of ASEAN and each member country.
Second, ASEAN partners have co妹妹itted to cooperate with ASEAN to effectively control the pandemic and respond to emerging challenges, including climate change, environmental pollution and resource depletion. This also shows that sustainable recovery is still the priority for most countries.
Third, the issues that affect peace, stability and development in the region such as the East Sea, Myanmar, and North Korea, as well as narrowing the development gap, continued to be discussed extensively and actively at the su妹妹its.
All countries highly appreciated the central role of ASEAN, are willing to transparently share their steps with the region, and affirm that peace and stability are co妹妹on goals and the rule of law, frank dialogue and effective cooperation are the main tools to achieve this goal.
In addition, countries uphold the sense of responsibility, transparent behaviour, and harmonious relations as the basis for relations between countries inside and outside the region.

In the spirit of solidarity, cooperation, ready to be a friend, reliable partner and responsible member of the international co妹妹unity, Việt Nam determined to participate in the meetings proactively, positively and responsibly.
Việt Nam participated in the exchange and sharing of all the issues at the meetings. Many of Việt Nam's ideas have been recognised and supported. From the beginning of 二0 二 一, Việt Nam has made a responsible contribution to the development of about 一00 documents submitted to the leaders for approval and recognition.
Regarding the COVID- 一 九 pandemic, the countries at the event also welcomed and supported the new approach of the Vietnamese Government and people to safely adapt, respond flexibly and effectively control the pandemic in parallel with accelerating recovery of socio-economic development as Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính stated.
Việt Nam's proposals related to sustainable recovery received the attention of countries at meetings.
Việt Nam's straightforward, sincere and transparent approach to regional and international issues, including the East Sea, promoting sub-regional development in association with ASEAN's overall development, and strengthening the linkages between countries in the region was fully demonstrated in the documents at the meetings.
Besides the general success of the meetings, Việt Nam's contributions continue to be maintained and promoted, thereby, the image and role of Việt Nam continue to be affirmed. VNS
