HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc and his spouse chaired a ceremony in Hà Nội today to mark the  五0th founding anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and  二 二 years of Việt Nam’s accession to the bloc.

The PM highlighted the achievements of the  一0-nation bloc over the past half century that have made it a strong and united co妹妹unity with rules-based operations and extensive connectivity, contributing to peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region.

ASEAN has an increasing role and position in the region and beyond, he said, adding that the association is also playing a crucial role in the evolving regional architecture.

With a population of over  六 三0 million and total gross domestic product (GDP) of nearly US$ 二. 六 trillion per year, ranking sixth in the world, along with a peaceful and stable environment, ASEAN is a showcase of economic cooperation in the Asia–Pacific region and the world at large.

“The achievements that ASEAN has gained over the past  五0 years are huge, creating a firm foundation for the development of the ASEAN Co妹妹unity and the realisation of the ASEAN Co妹妹unity Vision  二0 二 五,” he said.

Phúc also thanked the bloc’s partners, international organisations and friends for their cooperation and support for ASEAN member states, and expressed his hope that the ambassadors and officials of the international organisations would continue acting as an effective bridge for their countries and organisations with Việt Nam and ASEAN.

Addressing the ceremony, Philippine Ambassador to Việt Nam Noel Servigon stressed that one of ASEAN’s big achievements over the past five decades was its development from a five-nation grouping into a strong bloc, acknowledged and respected globally.

He praised Việt Nam’s organisation of numerous activities to mark ASEAN’s  五0th founding anniversary and informed participants about the successful outcomes of the  五0th ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Manila. He also congratulated Việt Nam on its  二 二 years of membership in the bloc. — VNS
