On the occasion of the 58th anniversary of the founding of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), on behalf of General Secretary To Lam and the leaders of the Party and State of Vietnam, I would like to send my sincere greetings, warm regards and best wishes to all ASEAN leaders and the people of ASEAN. We appreciate that after 58 years of establishment and development, ASEAN has grown stronger in stature and position, playing an increasingly important role in the region and the world , upholding the principles of consensus and unity in diversity and becoming a dynamically developing region and a center of growth.

ASEAN has adopted Vision 2045 and is striving to make this vision a reality. For Vietnam, after thirty years of joining ASEAN, along with the growth of ASEAN, we have also matured and grown, with the wholehearted, selfless and transparent help of ASEAN countries. We strive to learn from ASEAN countries and have proposed Vision 2045 to become a developed country with high income, in line with the common Vision of the ASEAN Community. We hope that ASEAN countries will support the realization of this vision. Vietnam will continue to implement its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, multilateralization, being a good friend, a reliable partner with all countries in the world, a responsible member of the international community, for the goal of peace , cooperation and development in the region and the world.

We pledge to continue to contribute and make every effort to build a united, consensual, and diverse ASEAN and to develop ASEAN rapidly and sustainably based on science, technology and innovation.

Thank you very much!
