Vietnam hosts virtual 2021 VECONAC Executive Board Meeting and General Assembly

The Veterans Confederation of ASEAN Countries (VECONAC) held its 33rd Executive Board Meeting and 20th General Assembly on 15 December 2021.

Conducted virtually and attended by all 10 ASEAN member countries, the meeting was hosted by Vietnam who held the VECONAC Chair for two years in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under normal circumstances, both meetings would have been held physically in the host country.

In his closing address, outgoing VECONAC President Senior Lieutenant-General (Retired) Nguyen Van Duoc, who is also President, Veterans Association of Vietnam, said he believed the results achieved at the meeting met “the practical interests of the veterans of the 10 VECONAC member countries, contributing to peace, security and common prosperity of our region and the world.”
