The 14th National Party Congress has drawn strong attention from the international community, providing an important opportunity to showcase Vietnam’s development achievements and spread its image as a peaceful, dynamic and hospitable country to the world, said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang.

Overseas Vietnamese, those from Vietnamese associations and organisations, international agencies and foreigners and locals in many countries came to Vietnam's diplomatic missions abroad to pay respects for General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong on July 25 and 26.
