Recognizing Doi moi achievements and Party’s guiding role

In messages conveyed to Vietnam through people-to-people diplomatic channels, many organizations and international friends expressed high appreciation for the development path chosen and steadfastly led by the Communist Party of Vietnam over recent decades, particularly since the launch of the Doi moi process.

He wished the Congress great success in its discussions and in adopting important decisions, affirming that Vietnam is determined to advance into a “new era - the era of the nation’s rise,” grounded in Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought. He emphasized the special friendship between the CAVV and the Communist Party of Vietnam, recalling historic solidarity activities of the Venezuelan revolutionary movement in support of Vietnam, including the campaign demanding the release of hero Nguyen Van Troi in 1964.

Prof. Dr. V. P. Buyanov, Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association, stated that the 14th Congress is tasked with reviewing past stages of the Doi moi process, assessing the implementation of the Resolution of the 13th Congress, and identifying key orientations and priorities for the country’s medium- and long-term development.

The Uzbekistan-Vietnam Friendship Association highly appreciated Vietnam’s sustainable economic growth, positive changes in the social sphere, and improvements in the quality of life of the people, viewing these as clear evidence of the effectiveness of the development model and the consistent strategic line led by the Communist Party of Vietnam.
