Vietnam Social Security has joined ASSA since September 1998 and is currently the official and only member of Vietnam at the regional social security forum. In the process of joining ASSA since its establishment until now, Vietnam Social Security has always played an active role in implementing cooperation activities among ASSA's member organizations.

Participating in ASSA activities has helped Vietnam Social Security to access and update international knowledge and experience in order to improve and develop the current social insurance policy implementation system in a way of professionalism, modernity and efficiency and towards international integration in the spirit of Resolution No. 28-NQ/TW dated May 23, 2018 of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam on social insurance policy reform.
