NA Chairwoman welcomes Fijian counterpart

On behalf of the Vietnamese National Assembly, Chairwoman Ngan congratulated Fiji on its successful organization of APPF-25, which she said enhanced the country’s role in the region and the world.  

Ms. Ngan affirmed that Viet Nam stands ready to cooperate and share experience with Fiji in its strong areas, especially agriculture and food security, fishery, infrastructure and health care, in both bilateral and multilateral frameworks with the support of a third country or international organizations, similarly to the model Vietnam has been implementing in some African countries. 

On this occasion, the Chairwoman expressed her gratitude to Fiji’s support for Vietnam in UN cooperative framework and its recognition of Viet Nam’s market economy.  

Speaker of the Parliament of Fiji Jico Fatafehi Luveni said that as a new member of the APPF, the Fijian delegation was delighted to arrive in Ha Noi to share viewpoints on regional issues of common concern. The guest leader also hailed the theme of APPF-26 that is useful for Fiji. 

The Speaker expressed her wish that the two countries and their parliaments will increase cooperation and continue with their mutual support at international forums and organizations, while promoting people-to-people exchange. 

She also thanked Chairwoman Ngan for her appreciation of Fiji’s contribution to the success of the 21st Conference of Parties to the UN framework convention on climate change in Paris. 

She shared with her Vietnamese counterpart the damage caused by climate change to Fiji, stressing that a common voice of regional countries will help raise awareness and prompt actions to deal with climate change in the world./.
