General Secretary of the Communist
Party of Vietnam Nong Duc Manh has urged newly accredited ambassadors
to comprehensively conduct their assigned tasks, especially paying due
attention to economic and cultural diplomacy and overseas Vietnamese
affairs during their terms of office abroad.
At his meeting in Hanoi on Feb. 7, General Secretary Manh told new
ambassadors, general consuls and heads of diplomatic missions that the
appointment is a ‘great honour’ and a ‘glorious task’ entrusted to them
by the Party, State and people.
He reminded the diplomats to thoroughly grasp and implement the Party
and State’s foreign policy of self-reliance, peace, cooperation and
development, multilateralisation and diversification of international
relations, and integration into the world economy as well as expansion
of cooperation in other areas.
Vietnam is a friend, a reliable partner and a responsible member of the
international community, taking an active part in regional and
international cooperation, the Party leader said./.
