Amid a volatile global landscape and unprecedented natural disasters at home, Vietnam’s economic diplomacy affirmed its role as a central driving force, helping not only to “turn the tide” but also to create sustainable value for the future.

VOV.VN - Vietnam must elevate its diplomacy to a new level commensurate with the country’s historical legacy, cultural identity and growing international standing, Politburo member and Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung said on February 7.

VOV.VN - The Embassy of Vietnam in China, in coordination with Vietnamese restaurants operating locally, organised the “Vietnam Phở Day” event on February 5.

Advancing diplomacy and international integration is not solely the task of specialised external-affairs bodies or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but a shared cause of the entire Party, people and armed forces, involving the whole political system, said Politburo member and Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Hoai Trung.

VOV.VN - Vietnam is seeking to elevate its foreign policy to better match its growing national stature, emphasising autonomy, confidence, self-reliance, resilience and national pride as it deepens international integration and expands its global role.

The 14th Party Congress has identified multilateral diplomacy as a major and strategic direction for Vietnamese diplomacy, said Ambassador Do Hung Viet, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the United Nations, in an interview with the Vietnam News Agency shortly after the 14th National Party Congress concluded.

As the 14th National Party Congress convenes at a pivotal moment in the country’s development, the role of foreign affairs has been elevated to a “key and regular” task on par with national defence and security, reflecting the Party and State’s heightened trust and expectations for diplomacy in the new development era.

VOV.VN - Vietnam is advancing a strategy of comprehensive diplomacy grounded in national strength, positioning foreign affairs as a central pillar of peace, development and international engagement amid growing global uncertainty.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has wrote an article, highlighting that economic diplomacy has left a strong mark at many milestones of the country’s development and strategic integration.

VOV.VN - As the 2026-2030 period begins, Vietnam faces a critical question: how to translate political achievements into concrete, sustainable economic and diplomatic value with real international impact.
