The success of this Conference continues to affirm the importance of the ASEAN-China cooperation mechanism, while demonstrating Vietnam's strong commitment to joining hands with other countries to create a dynamic, resilient and inclusive Asian region.
According to the Ministry of Construction , with the theme "Empowering Digital Intelligence - Inheriting and promoting cultural values - promoting high-quality development in the construction sector of China - ASEAN", the Conference is a forum for ASEAN member countries and China to share visions, experiences and propose strategic cooperation solutions in the field of housing and urban development.
At the Plenary Session, Deputy Minister Nguyen Tuong Van informed about Vietnam's achievements, experiences and orientations for housing and urban development. Deputy Minister Nguyen Tuong Van affirmed Vietnam's commitment to proactively and responsibly participating in regional cooperation mechanisms, typically the ASEAN Smart Cities Network (ASCN).
In particular, in the face of common challenges in the region, especially the impact of climate change on urbanization, the Vietnamese delegation proposed three key areas of cooperation in the coming period. First is to maintain and promote the role of the annual Ministerial Conference as a key mechanism to address common issues and form specific action initiatives. Next is to organize joint in-depth research programs on urgent topics such as smart cities, climate change response and heritage preservation in the digital environment.
Along with that is promoting the exchange and learning of practical experiences in applying technology and digital intelligence to build smart, resilient and livable cities. These proposals clearly demonstrate the spirit of cooperation for the common good and have received consensus and high appreciation from the participating countries.
In the spirit of frank and open dialogue, the Conference listened to profound speeches from the Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China and Ministers and Heads of Delegations of ASEAN countries. The parties reviewed the effective cooperation results in the past time, from human resource training, science and technology exchange to harmonization of construction standards, and implementation of investment cooperation projects.
One of the most outstanding outcomes of the Conference was the unanimous adoption by the Ministers and Heads of Delegation of the "Guilin Initiative". This important document lays the foundation for a new phase of deeper and more substantive cooperation, towards creating a future of sustainable development and shared prosperity.
