President Sang emphasized that ASEAN, with a population of more than 600 million, will become more united and active in supporting member nations’ development once a common community is formed next year. He also said he hoped that more creative measures would be initiated at the Roundtable for the sustainable development of the region. The 4th Roundtable was co-organized by the Supreme People’s Court of Vietnam and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
