He thanked the diplomats for regularly exchanging information and closely cooperating with his commission in diplomatic activities between Vietnam and their nations.
At its recent 12th National Congress, the CPV received warm encouragement via congratulatory messages from leaders and ruling and non-ruling political parties of over 100 countries and diplomatic missions in Vietnam, he added.
Quan stressed the Southeast Asian country will continue the consistent foreign policy of independence, autonomy, peace, cooperation and development, multilateralisation and diversification of external relations, proactive and active international integration, and being a friend, a trustworthy partner and a responsible member of the international community.
The policy’s ultimate goal is to firmly safeguard independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, ensure a peaceful and stable environment, optimise external resources for national development and protection, raise the country’s prestige and stature, and contribute to peace, national independence, democracy and social progress in the world, the official added.
