Beijing (VNA) – Ling Dequan, a researcher at China’s Centre for World Affairs Studies, has expressed his belief that under the leadership of the 13th Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee, with Party General Secretary and State President To Lam as leader, the Vietnamese people will reap greater achievements in their cause of Doi moi (Renewal).

In an interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency, Ling, a former chief representative of China’s Xinhua News Agency in Hanoi, stressed that the revolutionary cause in the Southeast Asian nation initiated by President Ho Chi Minh will surely be carried forward.

The researcher stressed President Lam’s election as Party General Secretary with an absolute majority of votes was an important and logical event, adding General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chinese President Xi Jinping extended his congratulations to the Vietnamese leader.

After the passing of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, the CPV quickly consolidated its leadership, demonstrating Vietnam's political stability and order, as well as the strong, steadfast Party leadership, he continued.

As for priorities in Vietnam’s foreign policy in the time ahead, Ling held that there will be no changes as reflected through Lam’s inauguration speech and that the policy set at the 13th National Party Congress would be inherited and promoted.

The expert noted his special attention to the prospects of the relations between Vietnam and China, the two neighbours connected by mountains and rivers, highlighting the announcement of the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance in late 2023, which has opened up a new chapter for the relations between the two Parties and countries.

Ling also believed that under the leadership of General Secretaries Xi Jinping and To Lam, the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership would be enhanced in the time to come, and the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future would be conducted in an intensive and practical manner.
The two Parties, countries, and peoples will promote the traditional friendship and the "camaraderie plus brotherhood", consolidate mutual political trust, deepen strategic exchange, and promote result-oriented cooperation, for the sake of the two countries’ people, global peace, and humankind’s progress, he said.

Regarding the corruption fight, the researcher said Party building and rectification has been regarded as a key content of the 13th National Party Congress, and that after taking office, Lam said the CPV will continue with the effort, consistently and resolutely fighting the degradation of ideology, morality and lifestyle, and corruption and other negative phenomena within the Party.

Ling also believed that the “blazing furnace” campaign launched by late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong against corruption would continue to be fired, meeting the Party's policy and people's aspirations.

He said the Vietnamese people have made unwavering efforts to complete targets and visions set by the 13th National Party Congress, and gained breakthrough achievements in this regard, stressing the spirit of self-reliance, confidence, self-resilience, and national pride, the Vietnamese Party and people will navigate all difficulties and stay firmly against all challenges to advance on their chosen path and goals.

The researcher also expressed his belief that Vietnam will maximize opportunities and advantages, tap its potential, intensify its strengths, and cope with risks and challenges to successfully achieve strategic targets set at the 13th National Party Congress./.
