the great role of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in the country’s development
as well as achievements Vietnam achieved during 35 years of its Doi Moi (renewal) process.
Talking to the Vietnam News Agency on the sidelines of the ongoing 13th National Party Congress in Hanoi, Hantao from Asia-Pacific Daily (APD) said the process, along with the market economy and open-door policies, has helped
lift Vietnam from being isolated to an
economy opening to and widely interacting with outside.
Vietnam's achievements are thanks to the leadership of the CPV, and the
Party’s right decision to open the country to the world, he stressed.
Sharing this opinion, Stefan Kühner from the German Communist Party’s Unsere
Zeit newspaper said what Vietnam
has achieved under the leadership of the CPV over the last 35 years have amazed him, especially those in poverty
reduction and improvement of the lives of people.
Referring
to Vietnam's position in the world, Kühner said Vietnam is actively
participating in activities of the UN Security Council to seek peaceful
solutions to international issues, and it has demonstrated how important the
cohesion of ASEAN member nations is.
Vietnam's
increasing prestige and position is closely related to its economic development
thanks to the renewal process, he said, adding that the country needs to
continue its reform policy and open its door wider in order to reap more success.
According
to Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury from the Economic Times of India, Vietnam not only is
a growing economy in Indo-Pacific region, but also plays an important role in
Southeast Asia.
The Congress once
again demonstrates the extremely crucial role of the CPV in maintaining stability
of the country, he said, affirming that a strong Vietnam is important for
stability in both the Mekong region and the East Sea.
The
success in the fight against COVID-19 is one of the greatest achievements of
the CPV in 2020, he said.
Meanwhile, Hussain Janjua, an Indian media expert, highlighted Vietnam’s
economic development achievement, saying that thanks to tireless efforts, the country lifted its GDP and per capita income to 343
billion USD and 3,521 USD, respectively, in 2020 from 14 billion USD and 250 USD in the
first years of its renewal process.
In addition, Vietnam has signed 15 free trade agreements (FTAs) with
partners, and has strategic partnership with 16 countries and comprehensive
strategic partnership with 11 others, he said, adding the country
has also joined more than 500 bilateral and multilateral agreements in many
fields.
The country successfully performed its role as the ASEAN Chair 2020, Chairman of
the ASEAN
Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA 41) and a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, thus improving
its global reputation and position, said the Indian expert./.
