Vietnam would deserve to be the centrepiece of media agencies worldwide in 2006 if a poll or survey was conducted. Many global media agencies ran reports on Vietnam, considering the country a rising star in the region and the world.

In their reports, Vietnam was no longer a war-devastating country, but emerged as a dynamic economy full of potential. It was described as a new tiger in Asia, Vietnam - a new dawn, a rising star of the global economy, an attractive investment destination, and an economy with the second highest growth in Asia. Several newspapers which had produced negative reports on Vietnam came up with positive views, based on what is really happening in the country.

Luis Ramirez, a Beijing-based correspondent of the Voice of America, who arrived in Hanoi last November to cover the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting for the first time, said he was impressed by Vietnam’s rapid development and people’s hospitability and friendliness. He expressed his hope that Vietnam will maintain its historical and cultural values while integrating deeply into the world economy.

Global media agencies also gave in-depth analysis of Vietnam’s joining the World Trade Organisation (WTO), successfully organising the 14th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and being the only Asian candidate for non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council. Having visited Vietnam for several times, Elicia Yeo, a Malaysia-based AFP correspondent said Vietnam will have many opportunities to develop its economy after joining the WTO.    

The agencies also produced many comments on changes in the new leadership of Vietnam following the 10th National Party Congress and the ninth session of the 11th National Assembly. They deemed the rejuvenation of the Vietnamese leadership in the integration process as a correct policy. The Fortune magazine affirmed that the change showed the Communist Party of Vietnam’s determination to successfully build the socialist-oriented market economy.

Martin Alvarev, chief representative of Cuba’s Prensa Latina Bureau in Southeast Asia, said “Vietnamese people are very hard working and many new streets are taking shape to create a new impression of development in the country.”

Vietnam
is expected to make the headlines in the international media in the coming years as it aims to join the medium-income group by 2010. The country is optimistic about the possibility of achieving further success in its Doi Moi (Renewal) and international economic integration process.
