I WAS in Hanoi, Vietnam, on August 4 to 7, 2015 to revisit a former assignment for the purpose of drumming up interest in the setting up of Triple A, the Association of Asean Ambassadors,  in the light of the value and usefulness of the Philippine Ambassadors Foundation, Inc.  As we all know, Asean Community 2015 is about to be realized this year and ambassadors who had served in their respective Asean countries have an invaluable role to play in support of Asean Community 2015 and beyond in evolving a common prosperity for the Asean region based on enduring peace and sustainable development.  In the long run, AAA could serve as an Asean think tank.

In this regard, I was received by the Vietnam Union of Friendship  Organizations (VUFO) which accepted this initiative in principle.  Consequently, I was able to encourage Vietnam to set up its own Ambassadors’ Association which shall become the first link with its Philippine counterpart grouping, the PAFI.
