A Congress that leads and inspires!

Practically welcoming the success of the 13th National Party Congress and commemorating the 91st anniversary of the Party's founding (February 3, 1930 - February 3, 2021), on the afternoon of February 3, the Communist Party of Vietnam e-newspaper held an online discussion "The 13th National Party Congress and its outstanding marks". The discussion aimed to initially assess the results, especially the outstanding marks of the 13th National Party Congress. At the same time, it suggested important issues and contents in organizing, thoroughly grasping, studying and bringing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress into life.
According to Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, Director of the XIII Congress Press Center Le Manh Hung, the XIII Congress of the Party was very successful in many aspects, including propaganda work, the drafting of Congress documents, personnel work of the Central Executive Committee, and organization, implementation, and deployment during the Congress's management.

Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department Le Manh Hung said that the communication work of the 13th National Congress was very methodical and elaborate. The number of journalists attending the Congress was the largest ever, nearly 600 domestic journalists and reporters and 100 foreign journalists in Vietnam. "We organized online to bring information about the Congress to journalists abroad. This morning, I and some comrades met with ambassadors and foreign representatives to inform them about the results of the 13th National Party Congress, which they highly appreciated. We had contact with reporters from NHK, Reuters, Russia... they highly appreciated the information work as well as the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the cause of national development, in the period of international integration", said Mr. Le Manh Hung.

Deputy Head of the Central External Relations Commission Nguyen Manh Cuong shared: "This Congress has been prepared very carefully, meticulously, thoughtfully and carefully. Therefore, the Congress has taken place very smoothly in the context of the complicated epidemic and flood situation. This is a very good impression. Our Congress this time has received the attention, excitement and high appreciation of the people in the country as well as the congratulations and high appreciation of the Parties, organizations and international friends".

"Talking about the emotions shared when attending this congress, my feelings can be summed up in two words: Responsibility and trust," said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu. Responsibility when we look back at the history of Party Congresses, especially in the post-renovation terms, the 13th National Party Congress has three "best" things: First, our Party has determined the longest, largest and arguably most inspiring development goal for a very long period, not only for the next 5-10 years, but by 2045 to become a highly industrialized country. Second, when we set such a goal and ambition, the international and regional context is extremely special, with unprecedented challenges, rapid and unpredictable developments, but at the same time opening up unprecedented opportunities for development. And third, our country is deeply integrated, unprecedented in the region in general. "Thus, I feel that from a foreign affairs perspective, I feel that the responsibility of the foreign affairs sector in general is to accompany the country and ministries to realize the great aspirations of our nation in the next 10-20 years in such a complicated world situation, the responsibility is very great," said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu.

"We are even more confident in the decisions made at the 13th National Congress and in the maturity of our Party, the strength of the political system, and of cadres at all levels, demonstrated by the fact that we have fulfilled our important responsibilities. In terms of foreign affairs, we have fulfilled our responsibility as ASEAN Chair, as well as our position on the United Nations Security Council. Domestically, we have effectively handled the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as achieved good economic growth in such a difficult context," Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu added.
