Continuing the program for the international press delegation and overseas Vietnamese media covering the 14th National Congress of the Party, on January 21, 2026, the delegation visited and learned about several notable historical and cultural sites in Hai Phong City, including the Bach Dang Giang Relic Site, Kiep Bac Temple, and Con Son Pagoda.

Tran Phuong Lien, Chief Representative of REI (US) in Vietnam, noted that positive progress in healthcare and education is making an important contribution to enhancing Vietnam’s role and credibility on the international stage. A people-centered development approach not only improves quality of life at home, but also increases Vietnam’s attractiveness in international cooperation.

This is the assessment of Pham Quang Tu, Deputy Country Director of Oxfam in Vietnam. According to him, Vietnam is increasingly affirming its role and credibility as a responsible development partner, recognized by the international community.

Van Ngoc Thinh, National Director of the World Wide Fund for Nature in Vietnam (WWF-Vietnam), believes that the country’s rich biodiversity, together with sustained efforts in ecosystem conservation and restoration, is helping to shape Vietnam’s development position and enhance its credibility on the international stage.
