talked about the new leadership of Vietnam in a recent interview with the
Vietnam News Agency, highly valuing the virtue and capacity of the country’s
newly-elected leaders.
Valeria Vershinina, an analyst from the ASEAN
Centre of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO)
University under the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, noted Party General
Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is assessed as an experienced leader of the
Communist Party of Vietnam, and new State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc has
established himself as a talented leader during the years he served as the
Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, she went on, new National Assembly
Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue and new PM Pham Minh Chinh are both managers with
strategic mindset and rich experience in their previous leadership positions.
The key leaders also harmoniously represent
different regions across the country, she added.
Vershinina held that the Vietnamese National
Assembly has clear-sightedly selected a person who always supports a reformed
economy and technological development as the PM since the country needs to keep
up with the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the time ahead.
The new Government leader can ensure a balanced
strategy and a new approach to effectively respond to not only the COVID-19
pandemic but also fast changes in the global and regional situation, she said,
adding that Pham Minh Chinh’s experience and mindset of reform in e-Government
building and administrative management will be applicable in the future for
national development.
The analyst expressed her belief that with the
experience and successes in reforming the economy and maintaining a balanced
foreign policy, Vietnam will continue posting fast development and playing a
growing role in global and regional processes.
Regarding the outlook for the Vietnam – Russia
comprehensive strategic partnership, she said the Southeast Asian nation is
always a priority in Russia’s foreign policy, and promising cooperation areas
for the time ahead include technology, reform, information security, and
emergency response./.
