as well as the flourishing development of the traditional friendship between the
two countries, on the occasion of the ongoing 13th National Congress
of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV).
The online newspaper halonoviny.cz ran an article on January 25 emphasising that
the Congress is one of the most important political events in 2021 for Vietnam,
attracting interest internationally.
Under the leadership of the CPV, in recent years Vietnam, as a member of ASEAN,
has had an rising role and position in the region as well as in the world, the article
said.
In 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it was internationally praised for its pandemic
prevention and economic recovery efforts.
The article also mentioned the key tasks relating to Vietnam’s domestic and foreign
policies and orientations to be set at the Congress.
Notably, it highlighted the importance as well as the solid foundation for strengthening
the traditional friendship between the two countries.
The Czech Republic, a member of the EU, actively supported and promoted the signing
of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), considering Vietnam a market of
potential and a gateway for its exports into ASEAN, it noted.
The article also underlined the increasing role played by the Vietnamese community
in the European country, saying that it acts as a bridge to promote the relationship.
Meanwhile, the website parlamentnilisty.cz on January 24 spotlighted Vietnam’s economic
development achievements after 35 years of its “Doi Moi” (renewal) process, as well
as the country’s success in international integration.
In 2020, though affected by COVID-19, Vietnam’s GDP growth was among the highest
in the world.
Besides economic growth, Vietnam has also recorded important achievements in improving
people’s lives and ensuring social security, becoming one of the leading countries
in the world in the fight against poverty, meeting the requirements of the UN Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) with a rate of poor households falling to below 3 percent
in 2020.
Vietnam’s achievements over the last 35 years prove the important leadership of
the CPV in the cause of national construction and development and show that Vietnam
is a model of success, it added./.
