Dịch bài
Việt Nam chính thức trở thành thành viên của Hiệp hội các Quốc gia Đông Nam Á (ASEAN) vào ngày 28 tháng 7 năm 1995. Kể từ đó, Việt Nam làm việc cùng với các nước thành viên ASEAN để tăng cường hợp tác trong khu vực và đã có những đóng góp to lớn trong việc duy trì hòa bình, ổn định và hòa giải trong khu vực.
Trong những năm gần đây trong khối ASEAN, Việt Nam đã đạt được nhiều thành công trong các lĩnh vực như kinh tế và xã hội. Nước ta đã dần cơ cấu lại bộ máy quản lý sao cho phù hợp với nền kinh tế thị trường và hội nhập được với cộng đồng quốc tế. Việt Nam đã tạo được ấn tượng tốt đối với các nước ASEAN bằng những thành tựu trong công cuộc phát triển nền kinh tế, đặc biệt là trong chương trình xóa đói giảm nghèo. Đầu tư của các nước ASEAN vào Việt Nam đồng thời cũng tăng lên mạnh mẽ. Với tốc độ tăng trưởng kinh tế cao trung bình bảy phần trăm mỗi năm, Việt Nam có thể giảm khoảng cách kinh tế với các nước như Thái Lan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines và Brunei.
Ngoài ra, Việt Nam còn tích cực hoạt động để hội nhập văn hoá và xã hội với khu vực Đông Nam Á, đồng thời giữ được các đặc trưng văn hoá của riêng mình. 13 năm không phải là một khoảng thời gian dài cho một sự kiện chính trị quan trọng như vậy, nhưng những gì ta đã đạt được trong mối quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và hiệp hội đang tạo ra triển vọng tươi sáng cho tương lai chúng ta.
