The meeting also reviewed and addressed proposals and recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the government and the Prime Minister regarding personnel matters, mechanisms, policies, and resources required to establish a comprehensive and modern diplomatic system.
In his concluding remarks, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung emphasized the importance of strengthening external relations and international integration as a crucial and permanent task identified at the 14th National Congress. He highlighted the strategic importance of this change in the Party’s thinking, underscoring the high regard for foreign affairs and diplomacy.
Following a restructuring, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now unifies state management of foreign affairs within the political system, advises the Party and state on strategic orientation, and organizes the implementation of Party foreign policy, state diplomacy, and people-to-people diplomacy.
The rapidly evolving global situation presents challenges that demand proactive strategies, strategic forecasting, political responses, and emergency plans to address potential scenarios effectively.
“This places a heavy burden on the Ministry and the diplomatic sector, not only this year but also in the years to come,” Prime Minister Le Minh Hung stated.
