In his opening remarks, Thanh said in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ASOSAI has witnessed solidarity of all regional supreme audit institutions.

He stressed that during the three years of assuming the role as ASOSAI Chair, the State Audit of Vietnam has closely coordinated with the organization’s members in carrying out the Hanoi Declaration.

Meanwhile, Thailand's State Auditor General Chanathap Indamra said the pandemic has affected all aspects of life, including the audit sector. This ASOSAI Assembly would not have been successful without the support of Vietnam and other members, he added.
