With the approval of the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee, VUFO will coordinate with the VPC and the Executive Committee of the WPC to hold the 22nd Assembly in Hanoi and Quang Ninh. Taking place from November 21-27, 2022, the Assembly will welcome 200 participants, including about 100 international delegates from 49 countries belonging to nearly 60 member organizations of the WPC and 100 Vietnamese delegates.

The 22nd assembly, the first to be held in Vietnam, aims to implement the XIII Party Congress’s foreign policy, Directive No. 25-CT/TW dated August 8, 2018 issued by the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee on promoting and elevating multilateral foreign relations to 2030 and Directive No. 12-CT/TW dated January 5, 2022 issued by the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee on strengthening the leadership of the Party, improving the effectiveness of people-to-people diplomacy in the new situation, actively contributing to Council’s activities in particular and the world peace movement in general.
