Delivering a speech at the 7th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM 7) held in Beijing, PM Dung also stressed the importance of the implementation of the ASEM declaration on the matter passed by ASEM 5 delegates.

He highlighted Vietnam’s development strategy and internal policy for an advanced Vietnamese culture that preserves national identity and an external policy aiming at multilateral and diversified cooperation and active integration in the region and the world at large.

PM Dung also suggested more focus be placed on culture and civilisation dialogues among Asian and European countries for future cooperation.

At the meeting, three Vietnam’s initiatives relating to combining cultural activities to promote ASEM images, exchanging experiences in coping with climate change and diseases, and cooking security received big support from attending countries.

The two-day ASEM 7 closed on Oct. 25, passing four important documents, namely Declaration of the President, Declaration on International Financial Situation, Beijing Declaration on Sustainable Development and the revised Asia-Europe Cooperation Framework.

ASEM 8 will be held in Belgium.
