Vietnam’s strength has long laid in its ability to maintain its strategic autonomy, with the country holding Comprehensive Strategic Partnerships (CSPs) with all five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a diplomatic feat that few countries can claim.

VOV.VN - Peace and stability cannot be sustained through power competition alone, but must instead rest on international law, dialogue, restraint and inclusive development, according to a senior Vietnamese leader.

VOV.VN - Vietnam has adopted a “comprehensive security” approach for the first time in documents of the 14th National Party Congress, placing security at the core of national development and identifying it as a key foundation for the country’s long-term goal of becoming a high-income, developed economy by 2045.

Professor Toshiro Nishizawa of the University of Tokyo has hailed Vietnam’s people-centred development approach, reflected in social security policies such as tuition fee reductions and healthcare support for disadvantaged groups.

Ho Chi Minh City experts have praised the draft documents for the upcoming 14th National Party Congress, which spotlights “strategic autonomy”, alongside Party and personnel building, institutional reform, as pillars of Vietnam’s next growth stage.
