This assessment was made by several African ambassadors in Vietnam during a recent interview with Radio Voice of Vietnam (VOV). They praised the Vietnamese Government’s strong determination to create a more effective and transparent administrative system that better serves the people.

According to South African Ambassador to Vietnam Vuyiswa Tulelo, Vietnam has made remarkable strides in recent years. Drawing from her own observations, she noted that when she began her term three years ago, Lotte Mall was just a concept on paper, now it has become a bustling commercial hub. A once-swampy area behind her residence has also been cleaned up and turned into a residential zone.

These developments, she said, show that Vietnam’s Party and State leaders not only formulate policies but also take decisive and well-directed action to deliver practical results.

Ambassador Tulelo also expressed deep appreciation for the comprehensive reform directives issued by Party General Secretary To Lam, calling them a clear demonstration of top leadership’s consistent, long-term commitment to the nation’s sustainable development.

She added that the General Secretary’s working trips and meetings with foreign delegations consistently yield concrete outcomes and promote substantive cooperation, not mere formalities.

What General Secretary To Lam is doing shows tireless dedication and unwavering commitment. It ensures that policies are not only well-directed but also inclusive of the people. People’s lives do not improve through policies on paper alone. She said she is truly moved to see all levels of leadership and the Vietnamese people working together toward a shared goal.

Egyptian Ambassador to Vietnam Amal Salama highlighted the country’s post-war reconstruction journey as a testament to its resilient spirit. Since the Doi Moi (Renewal) process began in 1986, the Vietnamese Government has played a crucial role in promoting socio-economic achievements that benefit its people.

Ambassador Salama also emphasized that international diplomats closely monitor and highly value Party General Secretary To Lam’s far-sighted policy decisions.

It is clear that General Secretary To Lam pays close attention to the wellbeing of all Vietnamese citizens and strives to raise living standards. He is also committed to improving government operations through recent reforms. Structural changes from central to local levels have increased the State’s effectiveness and responsiveness, while improving service delivery, she said, adding that she feels proud to witness Vietnam’s progress firsthand and contribute to stronger Egypt–Vietnam relations.

Ambassador Salama further lauded Vietnam’s role on the international stage, particularly in promoting peace and regional stability through proactive and positive diplomacy.

Moroccan Ambassador to Vietnam Jamale Chouaibi, affirmed that Vietnam stands out as a model of successful reform and development.

Vietnam serves as an inspiration for developing countries across Africa. It is a shining example in the region. The achievements made since the Doi Moi era are truly admirable. Many of the country’s targets have been reached ahead of schedule, proving the government’s strong planning and execution capacity, he said.

Ambassador Chouaibi added that Vietnam’s success stems not only from the proper policies of the Party and State but also from the joint efforts of its people, who are hard-working, dynamic and steadfast in their pursuit of progress.

He expressed confidence that Vietnam’s goal of becoming a fully developed nation by 2045 is entirely feasible, and achievable ahead of time.
