This experience has helped Vietnam improve its internal systems and train skilled workers to meet the needs of international cooperation. ASEAN has also become a closer community as it aims for the
2025 Community Vision. Together, member countries, including Vietnam, share common goals like maintaining peace, enhancing connections, and ensuring security for development. However, there are challenges ahead. Economically, differences in development levels and competition from other countries make it harder for Vietnam. Many of its exports are still raw materials, and the country struggles with low competitiveness and infrastructure issues. Politically, tensions between major countries, especially the US and China, create divisions among ASEAN nations, making it difficult to reach consensus on important issues. Non-traditional security challenges, such as climate change and pandemics like COVID-19, also pose threats to each country's stability. These issues require governments to focus resources on solving problems, which may reduce interest in regional cooperation. To tackle these challenges and seize new opportunities, Vietnam needs to adapt its strategies and improve its understanding of ASEAN's role in international relations. Recognizing the importance of ASEAN cooperation will help Vietnam invest wisely and actively participate in building a stronger community.

Vietnam's membership in ASEAN has played a crucial role in fostering a peaceful and stable environment that supports economic growth and modernization in the context of rapid regional integration and globalization. Through its active participation in ASEAN's decision-making processes, Vietnam has effectively aligned its national priorities with regional interests, thereby enhancing its capacity to address both traditional and non-traditional security challenges. The commitment to peaceful dispute resolution among ASEAN members has significantly contributed to cooperation and stability in Southeast Asia, enabling Vietnam to safeguard its interests, particularly in the East Sea. Furthermore, being part of ASEAN allows Vietnam to leverage cooperation, resources, and support from both ASEAN and its partners for socio-economic development. This includes initiatives focused on poverty reduction, improving labor productivity, and enhancing national competitiveness. Such efforts directly contribute to better living standards through increased social welfare, harmonized educational standards, and greater recognition of vocational skills across member countries. Vietnamese skilled workers benefit from the freedom of movement, accessing more favorable job opportunities within the region.
