Vietnam's National Assembly chairman led a delegation to the 152nd IPU Assembly in Istanbul in April 2026, and Vietnam has chaired the ASEAN+3 geopolitical group before. We found no IPU or other independent record confirming that it will hold the rotating chair at IPU-153, so we cannot confirm the claim.
