Hanoi (VNA) – The Party, State andpeople-to-people diplomacy contributed to fulfilling goals during the tenure ofthe 12th National Party Congress, said head of the Party Central Committee’sCommission for External Relations Hoang Binh Quan.

In an interview recently granted to the Vietnam News Agency,Quan said Vietnam was a symbol of the world in the past struggle for nationalindependence and reunification, and also set example during national renewal anddevelopment. Therefore, international friends are eyeing the 13th NationalParty Congress. Many political parties, international organisations and headsof states sent messages and letters of congratulations to the Vietnameseleaders on this occasion.

Quan added that a number of world leaders consider Vietnaman exemplary model of development. At present, Vietnam has been hailedworldwide for its success in meeting the dual goal of fighting COVID-19 pandemicand restoring socio-economic development thanks to the sound leadership of theCommunist Party of Vietnam (CPV), drastic actions of the Vietnamese Government andunity of the Vietnamese people.

He said international friends expect that the 13th National Party Congress will open up a new period of development for Vietnam.

According to him, important progress has been made in Partydiplomacy over the past five years. Vietnam strengthened ties with politicalparties globally in both width and depth, including ruling communist partiesfrom neighbouring socialist countries, and parties from traditional friends andmajor partners, contributing to consolidating political trust, cultivatingfriendship with countries as well as improving leadership capacity.

He said the CPV is adopting mechanisms of holdingtheoretical seminars with eight important political parties, policy dialoguesand consultations with major parties and political parties worldwide.

Vietnam also signed training agreements to send thousands ofofficials to the Communist Party of China, Singapore People’s Party and politicalparties in Australia each year, along with many other training courses forofficials and cadres at all levels.

In his view, the CPV is one of the important parties withrespected voices at forums of the communist and workers’ parties globally suchas in Europe and Latin America where Vietnam has held ties with the communistand left-wing parties, contributing to improving Vietnam’s stature oninternational arena.

About orientations to promoting the Party’s externalrelations, he highlighted the effective combination among the Party, State andpeople-to-people diplomacy to uphold collective strength of the nation on thediplomatic front.

He also mentioned the goal of maintaining an environment ofpeace and stability for development, and protecting sovereignty and territorialintegrity.

As the world is evolving rapidly, complicatedly anduncertainly, he suggested the CPV further broaden ties with political parties worldwide,and stay flexible and creative to adapt with the new situation.

In 2019, the Politburo issued Directive No.32-CT/TW onstrengthening and improving the efficiency of the Party’s foreign relations inthe new situation.

He called for continuing to enrich the brainpower of theParty by pooling international resources, including Party leadershipexperience, science-technology, human resource training, material and spiritualresources in service of the national renewable and development, contributing toaccomplishing tasks by the 13th National Party Congress./.
