(KPL/VNA) Typical and diversified culture of
ASEAN countries is being promoted at the ongoing ASEAN Week at the headquarters
of Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies in Mexico city from April 15-19.
The event is part of foreign affairs
activities by the ASEAN Committee in Mexico City (ACMC), aiming to enhance
understanding and tighten solidarity and friendship between ASEAN member states
and Mexico in general and the Mexican legislature in particular.
Speaking at the event, President of the
Chamber of Deputies Marcela Guerra Castillo highly appreciated ACMC's efforts
in coordinating to organise the event and considered it a testament to the
increasingly close relations between Mexico and ASEAN.
According to her, Mexico and ASEAN countries
share many similarities, not only in socio-economic development policies, and
the maintenance of a peaceful and stable environment in the region, but also in
their cultural and historical diversity.
Speaking highly of ASEAN's role in the
international arena, she said that ASEAN is a regional organisation and plays a
core role in promoting cooperation between regions in the world, including
Latin America.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Mexico Nguyen Hoanh
Nam, who is the rotating Chairman of the ACMC, affirmed that ASEAN always
treasures its relations with Mexico, while highlighting the development of
bilateral relations between ASEAN member states and Mexico in recent years in
various fields, especially in investment, trade, and tourism activities.
He expressed his hope that in the coming
time, ASEAN and Mexico, through each country's friendship parliamentary group,
will continue to promote parliamentary cooperation, thereby contributing to
improving ties between ASEAN and Mexico.
