Vietnam to continue reaping successs in external relations: Russian expert
Moscow (VNA) – Despite challenges from complicated regional geo-political situation, Vietnam will continue to
successfully implement the policy of diversification and multilateralisation of
its external relations and maintain its sound relations with neighbouring
countries and partners, Dr. Evgeny Vlasov, Deputy Vice-President for
International Relations, Far Eastern Federal University of Russia, has stressed.
In an interview with
Vietnam News Agency in Moscow, the Russian expert expressed his
belief that the Communist Party of Vietnam will remain a momentum for
development and reform, and the source for the development of national
tradition among younger generations.
Meanwhile, in the international integration and developing dialogues with foreign partners, Vietnam should work
harder to maintain the country’s typical cultural identity, he said.
Regarding forecast on Vietnam’s external relations policies
in the future, Vlasov said that in the current period, Vietnam has played an
important role in the international cooperation space.
The imprint that Vietnam left during the ASEAN Chairmanship
Year of 2020 and the country’s contributions at the UN Security Council last
year showed Vietnam’s effective external policies, the expert held.
He asserted that in the future, Vietnam will continue its
tactic of diversifying relations with foreign partners, not only with neighbouring
countries in the region but world powers such as Russia as well as members of
the European Union.
According to Vlasov, to achieve the goal set by the Communist
Party of Vietnam of becoming a developed country with high income in 2045,
Vietnam will need to build an effective economic relationship, both domestically
and with foreign partners, especially with western countries, while opening its
door more widely for foreign investors.
He also said he believes that along with the realisation of
the Party’s target of developing the country harmoniously and
improving welfare for the people, the country will also successfully implement its
external relations policies./.
