Vietnam officially became a member of APEC at the 10th APEC Foreign Ministers' Meeting on November 15, 1998 in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). This was an important milestone in the process of implementing Vietnam's open, diversified, multilateral and international economic integration foreign policy.

During 27 years of participating in APEC, Vietnam has left many strong marks in APEC cooperation and has always been assessed as a member with many positive, responsible and effective contributions to realizing APEC's cooperation goals and visions as well as enhancing the role of the Forum.

The State President leading a high-ranking delegation to the APEC Summit Week this time will contribute to demonstrating Vietnam's strong commitment to the process of economic cooperation and connectivity in the Asia-Pacific region, while affirming Vietnam's role as an active, responsible and increasingly proactive member in shaping the regional cooperation structure, towards hosting APEC 2027./.
