Professor Ezequiel Ramoneda, Coordinator of the Southeast Asian Studies Centre (CESEA) of Argentina, has highlighted Vietnam’s notable achievements in 2025 and expressed optimism about the country’s development prospects in 2026 and the next five years under the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)’s leadership.

VOV.VN - Vietnam is closely monitoring recent developments in the Middle East and has called on all parties to exercise restraint, avoid escalating tensions and resolve differences through peaceful means, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Pham Thu Hang said.

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.

Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Manh Cuong on January 21 delivered a presentation at the 14th National Party Congress, focusing on promoting external relations and international integration in service of the country’s strategic objectives.

Guided by the spirit of the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, the Government will continue to make every effort to fulfill its mission of facilitating development, upholding integrity, acting decisively, and serving the people, given that the country is entering a new stage of development.

VOV.VN - Vietnam continues to regard its overseas Vietnamese community as an integral part of the national community and an important resource for the country’s development, as the Party and State refine policies to better engage the diaspora amid deeper international integration.

VOV.VN - The draft documents submitted to the 14th National Party Congress Vietnam propose elevating foreign affairs and international integration to the same level as national defence and security, defining them as a “core and regular task” — a move widely seen as a breakthrough in the Party’s strategic thinking.

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 - Amid increasingly deep international integration, at a time when culture is recognised as a spiritual foundation and an internal strength underpinning the country’s sustainable development, heritage is becoming a “measure” of each nation’s identity and standing.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has stressed the urgent need to enhance the effectiveness of the negotiation and implementation of international commitments and agreements so as to step up foreign affairs and international integration while strengthening Vietnam’s prestige and stature in the world.
