National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man called on all parliamentarians and nations to take stronger action together to build a just, prosperous, and sustainable world, while addressing a high-level segment of the general debate of the 150th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU-150) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on April 6 morning.

Man highly appreciated IPU-150’s themed “Parliamentary action for social development and justice”, which carries great significance.

In the context of the world facing uncertainties, from climate change to inequality and political conflicts, parliaments play a crucial role in supporting and promoting sustainable development to address these common challenges, he further explained.

The Vietnamese chief legislator said sustainable development must go hand in hand with progress and social justice, noting development cannot be considered a success if a significant portion of the population is still left behind.

Therefore, parliaments should work to ensure that all policies aim to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and all people, regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity, or social background, benefit from development achievements, Man continued.

In this regard, he said, the Vietnamese NA has been working hard to build a fair legal system and policies, while promoting public participation in policy making and enforcement.
