Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) is a historic milestone for Vietnam’s future prosperity,
an Algerian scholar has said.
Mohamed Berzig, Secretary General of the Algeria-Vietnam Friendship Association, told Vietnam
News Agency correspondents in Algeria that the CPV plays an important, outstanding role in
orienting Vietnam during its cause of national construction and reform towards
modernity while consolidating the principles of a socialist-oriented market
economy.
Given a range of
challenges facing the world, Vietnam, under the leadership of the CPV, has
overcome obstacles, strengthened solidarity, protected its territorial
integrity, and moved forward, he said.
The scholar lauded
Vietnam’s achievements in different spheres after 35 years of reform, such as
political stability and extensive and intensive international integration.
He recalled Vietnam
joining international organisations like the WTO, ASEAN, the ASEAN Free Trade
Agreement, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in 1988, and the
Asia-Europe Economic Meeting (ASEM) in 1996.
Berzig said that following
the 12th National Party Congress, Vietnam stepped up international
integration and brought into full play the strength and potential of each
region.
The country has benefited
in all fields, from politics and national defence and security to culture and
science-technology, the scholar said, adding he has been impressed by anti-corruption
efforts.
He hopes that with
its creativeness, Vietnam can surpass all the challenges ahead and complete its
set targets./.
