The ACR Chair’s term lasts for six months, held rotationally by the ASEAN Ambassadors in Italy.

According to VNA, in its six-month taking over the role starting from July last year, the Vietnamese Embassy in Italy worked with embassies of other ASEAN member states to sustain the ARC’s operations amid COVID-19. Seven ambassador-level meetings, activities to celebrate ASEAN’s founding anniversary and 12 other meetings took place during the period.
