BUENOS AIRES – Việt Nam has assumed the rotating chairmanship of the ASEAN Committee in Buenos Aires (ACBA), with Vietnamese Ambassador to Argentina Ngô Minh Nguyệt presiding over the 42nd regular meeting at the Vietnamese Embassy on Wednesday.

The meeting brought together ambassadors from ASEAN member states, namely Indonesian Ambassador Sulaiman Syarif, Malaysian Ambassador Nur Azman, Philippine Ambassador Grace T. Cruz-Fabella, and Thai Ambassador Krit Tankanarat.

Discussions focused on upcoming initiatives to promote ASEAN’s image and presence in Argentina and the broader region.
