scholars in New York have expressed belief that the 13th National
Party Congress will work out targets and orientations for Vietnam’s development
in the future.
In an interview with the Vietnam News Agency in New York, a
representative from the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and
Socialism (CCDS), a democratic socialist group in the US, held that the
congress has an ambitious and inspiring agenda as it will sketch out the
development orientations for the country in the next five years and further
future.
It extended a message of solidarity to the Party, Government
and people of Vietnam, and pledged to continue to join the struggle to request
the US government to compensate for Agent Orange/dioxin disasters it caused
during the war in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, Max Elbaum, a coordinator from non-profitable
organisation Organising Upgrade wished the 13th National Congress of
the Communist Party of Vietnam a great success.
Leanna Noble and Hollis Stewart, two US friends of Vietnam
who joined anti-war protests in the 1960s and 1970s and used to work as
lecturers at Ton Duc Thang University between 2013-2016, said that they have
witnessed Vietnam’s efforts in economic development, giving more opportunities
for women and people from ethnic minority groups, and ensuring justice in
workplace. They showed their delight at Vietnam’s success in COVID-19 control.
At the same time, Cathy Dang, an overseas Vietnamese, said
that she is impressed by Vietnam’s attainments in national reconstruction and development as well as
the country’s observation of human rights right after the end of the war./.
