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.

VOV.VN - Party General Secretary To Lam has urged the country’s foreign service to continue strong reforms and effectively implement the resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, to help mobilise external resources and enhance Vietnam’s international standing.

Following the conclusion of the successful 14th National Party Congress, overseas Vietnamese (OVs) and foreign experts have shared a strong sense of confidence and renewed expectations, voicing firm belief that the country will continue to advance steadily on its development path in a new era.

Throughout the Doi moi (renewal) and integration process, Vietnam’s independent and flexible foreign policy has helped the country safeguard its sovereignty, expand international relations and gradually assert an increasingly clear role on the regional and global arenas.

Leaders of many countries, including Cuba, Russia, Japan, Mongolia, Belarus, and Nicaragua, have sent congratulations to General Secretary of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) To Lam on his re-election.

VOV.VN - Ho Chi Minh City police have dismantled a drug trafficking ring involving foreign nationals, arresting eight South Koreans, including one wanted under an international arrest warrant, authorities said.

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.

On the occasion of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), Dr. Khaled Khalifa, President of the Arab Council for Foreign Relations in Israel, has shared his views on Vietnam’s global role and standing, as well as its prospects for cooperation, contributions in regions affected by conflict.

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.

Amid a fragmented global economy and increased uncertainty, Vietnam continued to stand out as a stable and sustainable destination for international investment flows last year, reflecting investors’ strong confidence in the country’s medium- and long-term growth prospects.
