On April 24 in New York City, the ambassador Do Hung Viet, head of the permanent mission of Vietnam to the United Nations, chaired a meeting to inform American friends of the results of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the first session of the 16th National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
According to the VNA correspondent in New York, Ambassador Do Hung Viet emphasized the importance of these two events, which are strategically significant for Vietnam’s development in this new phase.
Specifically, the 14th Party Congress outlined directions and solutions to achieve the “two centennial goals,” identifying three strategic breakthroughs in institutions, high-quality human resources linked to science, technology, and innovation, as well as modern and synchronous infrastructure.
Regarding foreign policy, Ambassador Do Hung Viet affirmed that the 14th National Congress continued to consistently uphold an independent, autonomous, peaceful, friendly, cooperative foreign policy focused on development; diversify and multilateralize foreign relations; and proactively and comprehensively integrate into the international community.
The head of the Vietnamese delegation highlighted that people-to-people diplomacy is increasingly becoming an important pillar of Vietnamese diplomacy, creating a favorable basis for cooperation between Vietnam and other countries, especially the United States.
Regarding the first session of the 16th National Assembly, Ambassador Do Hung Viet was pleased to announce that the session had completed the complete restructuring of the state leadership apparatus and institutional framework for the new term; elected leadership positions in the state, National Assembly, government, and judicial bodies; and reviewed and approved many important legal frameworks and medium-term development plans for the period 2026-2030.
In a sincere, open, and constructive exchange, many American friends congratulated Vietnam on the success of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the first session of the 16th National Assembly, expressing strong interest in Vietnam’s development direction and progress in this new period.
Some delegates wanted to learn more about Vietnam’s key policies, including transforming its growth model, labor policies, social housing, efforts to address the consequences of Agent Orange/dioxin, solutions to deal with the impact of the conflict in the Middle East and rising oil prices, as well as Vietnam’s position on the Palestinian issue.
During this gathering, Ambassador Do Hung Viet respectfully thanked American friends for their attention, support, and kind feelings towards Vietnam over the years, as well as for the congratulatory messages sent to the new Vietnamese leaders.
The Ambassador emphasized that this eloquently demonstrates the effectiveness of people-to-people diplomacy, as well as the growing development of friendly relations and cooperation between Vietnam and its international friends, particularly American friends; expressing hope to continue benefiting from the support, attention, and cooperation of American friends on Vietnam’s new development path for peace, stability, cooperation, and development.
