Workshop: Improving the Verification of the Settlement of State and local budgets

Enhancing the quality of verifying and approving final accounts of State and local budget

Enhancing the quality of verifying and approving final accounts of State and local budget is always an important task of the elected bodies and deputies in the attempt to make public spending transparent and efficient. NA deputies and delegates of people’s councils are elected every five year, therefore, it is crucial for the NA’s Finance and Budget Committee to regularly organize workshop to disseminate and sharing experiences among the newly elected deputies who are in charge of verifying and supervising state and local budget settlement. KAS Vietnam will cooperate with the National Assembly’s Finance and Budget Committee to organize a workshop on “Improving the verification of the State and local budget settlement”.

How the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) shapes supply chains in Vietnam?

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of ASEAN and five regional economies (Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan and Korea) which was signed on November 15th 2020 and officially took effect from January 1st 2022. Many assessments believe that the impact of the Agreement due to tariff reduction is not much, while the impact on shaping supply chains in the RCEP and Vietnam is significant. For a more in-depth discussion of the above, the National Centre for Socio-Economic Information and Forecast (NCIF), with the support of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), will launch the workshop on November 10th 2022 which will disseminate the research results.

The 9th OCEAN DIALOGUE

Marine scientific research: Confidence building and Environment sustainability

The South China Sea (SCS) is home to high marine biodiversity that merits marine scientific research (MSR). For a long period, MSR has been advocated as an area of common interest to restore ocean sustainability and build confidence among coastal states. In addition, rapid changes in climate and human activity demands MSR to identify shared solutions to environmental challenges such as the diminishment of fish stocks and coral reef ecosystems, marine plastic pollution, or climate change. Given its significance, the 9th Ocean Dialogue would explore possibilities to enhance MSR in the SCS. Experts will dwell on three specific topics, including: (i) the applicability of legal framework under UNCLOS for MSR; (ii) good practices in regional and international scope to offer some new ideas of what could be applied in the SCS, (iii) challenges coastal states could face in promoting science diplomacy in disputed areas, and policy recommendations accordingly.

MEKONG FORUM 2

ASEAN Zentralität bei der Bewältigung von Herausforderungen in der Mekong-Subregion

Die Mekong-Frage ist nicht nur für die Länder der Subregion, durch die der Fluss fließt, sondern für die gesamte südostasiatische Region von großer Bedeutung. Die ASEAN Mekong-Becken Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (AMBDC) wurde bereits 1996 gegründet, um die ökologische Integration zwischen den Mitgliedsländern zu fördern. Im Vergleich zu anderen dynamischen Mechanismen in der Subregion hat die AMBDC jedoch keine nennenswerten Fortschritte gemacht. Der Grund dafür, dass ASEAN die Subregion Mekong unbedingt auf die Tagesordnung setzen muss, wurde von namhaften Wissenschaftlern innerhalb und außerhalb der Region diskutiert. Insbesondere können ASEAN und ASEAN-geführte Mechanismen einen strategischen Raum für die Zusammenarbeit der Mitgliedsländer in Fragen der Mekong-Subregion schaffen. Als ASEAN-Vorsitz für das Jahr 2020 hat Vietnam die Fragen der subregionalen Zusammenarbeit auf die Tagesordnung der Vereinigung gesetzt.

HOPE Webinar#3

Green building design and sustainable neighborhood development towards public health in the built environment of Vietnam

The topics of energy, climate and environmental policy are of central importance to the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. This topic is not only a regulatory challenge, but also a core concern for the preservation of creation and the protection of the livelihoods of current and future generations. We therefore want to provide impetus for a sustainable approach to the environment at national and international level. Environmental protection is also a cross-sectional task that places previous fields of activity of KAS in the areas of development, economy, security and energy in a changed context and at the same time ties in with the existing fields of activity.
