On the morning of November 22, the 12th Plenary Session of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP), themed "Seeking Peace and Reconciliation," opened in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man led the high-level Vietnamese Party and State delegation attending the conference and delivered an important speech affirming Vietnam's consistent support for ICAPP's efforts in creating a peaceful, secure, and stable environment in the region.

Representatives from political parties from 39 countries in the region and around the world also attended the conference.

In his opening remarks at the conference, Chairman of the ICAPP Standing Committee Chung Eui Yong stated that the world is witnessing numerous geopolitical, socio-economic pressures and challenges, as well as conflicts between nations, which are harming the pace of economic development and the environment of peace and stability in the world.

All these challenges are hindering the realization of the vision of peace, stability, and prosperity, undermining the fundamental foundations of a world based on adherence to international law and the United Nations Charter, and slowing down the progress made in achieving the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

As a special guest attending the conference, speaking at the opening session on behalf of the Communist Party of Vietnam, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man highly appreciated the leading role of Cambodia and the Chairman of the Cambodian People's Party, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, in the mechanism of this year's international conference of Asian political parties, contributing to maintaining a peaceful and secure environment for common prosperity and development in the region.

National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man pointed out that the world is experiencing many great changes with rapid and complex developments. In particular, in recent times, political instability, violence, and conflicts around the world have increased, with their scope and impact extending beyond national borders. Along with this are climate change, food security, water security, and a host of non-traditional security issues such as transnational crime, terrorism, smuggling, and human trafficking…

This reality reflects the enormous obstacles to world peace and human security, and at times even threatens the shared prosperity of Asian nations.

The Speaker of the National Assembly stated that Asia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have continued to make many efforts, actively and proactively proposing initiatives to contribute to the common efforts to resolve security and political issues of the international community. In particular, seeking peace and reconciliation for disagreements, disputes, and conflicts; actively striving for peace, security, common prosperity, and development for all of humanity is both a goal and an international responsibility of each party and each country.

In that context, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man affirmed that the 12th International Conference of Asian Political Parties, themed "Seeking Peace and Reconciliation," demonstrates the efforts and commitment of political parties in the region to building solidarity, cooperating together, and contributing to the resolution of conflicts and hotspots.

The Speaker of the National Assembly emphasized: "As ruling parties with political influence and a role in strategic planning and policy implementation, we need and can absolutely leverage our collective strength through the International Conference of Asian Political Parties to realize our common goals for peace, security, prosperity, and development in the world in general and the Asian region in particular."

The Chairman of the National Assembly stated that, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnam consistently pursues an independent, self-reliant, multilateral, and diversified foreign policy, ready to be a friend, a reliable partner, and an active and responsible member of the international community; and supports the efforts of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties in creating an environment of peace, security, and stability in the region.

The Speaker of the National Assembly affirmed that the key to peacefully resolving current disagreements and conflicts lies in dialogue and multilateral cooperation based on equality, mutual respect, mutually beneficial cooperation, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter.

Before attending the opening ceremony of the conference, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, along with members of the ICAPP Executive Committee, leaders of the 12th ICAPP Plenary Conference, and leaders of partner political parties/organizations, paid courtesy calls to the Chairman of the Cambodian People's Party and President of the Cambodian Senate, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, Honorary Chairman of the 12th ICAPP Plenary Conference, and the Vice Chairman of the Cambodian People's Party and Prime Minister of Cambodia, Samdech Hun Manet.
