Speaking at the appointment ceremony, Mr. Pham Xuan Sang, President of VTA, shared:

“Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia share deep-rooted ties in history, culture, and economic cooperation. As these countries become increasingly integrated into regional value chains, promoting arbitration collaboration within the Greater Mekong Subregion is one of VTA’s key priorities in the coming period.
We have full confidence that Arbitrator Nguyen Hoang Chuong – with his solid legal background and extensive practical experience in dispute resolution and corporate engagement – will work closely with VTA’s Executive Board to connect effectively with partners in Vietnam, while expanding cooperation with Laos and Cambodia. His contributions will help further develop the arbitration network across the region.”
