Update news external relations
The year 2020 marked a milestone in Vietnam’s history of foreign relations, when it for the first time undertook two great responsibilities – ASEAN Chair and Non-permanent Member of the UN Security Council.
The Russian expert expressed his belief that the Communist Party of Vietnam will remain a momentum for development and reform, and the source for the development of national tradition among younger generations.
Vietnam’s foreign policy of multilateralisation and diversification of external relations has contributed to enhancing the country’s position in the region and the world, foreign experts said.
Foreign media view 2020 as a special year for Vietnam as the country has performed the dual role of ASEAN Chair and a non-permanent member of the UNSC and done a good job of concurrently containing COVID-19 and sustaining economic growth.
Vietnam’s diplomatic sector overcame numerous challenges throughout 2020 to create, grasp and optimise new cooperation opportunities, thus contributing to the country’s progress towards development.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh has hailed the role of the mass media in carrying out the Party and State’s policy on external relations in 2014.
