A very notable point is the strong innovation in the way of building Congress documents when for the first time integrating reports on politics, economy - society and building the Party into a consistent axis.

This approach clearly demonstrates the need for objective and practical assessment, meeting the requirements of national development in the new period, emphasizing the need for action and organization after the Congress.

The process of collecting opinions clearly demonstrates the spirit of openness to the road, promoting collective intelligence and closely linking practical summary with roadmap planning.

Ambassador Pham Thanh Binh emphasized that in the context of the world and regional situation continuing to fluctuate rapidly and complicatedly, and increasing strategic competition, the 14th Congress is a turning point, especially important in the process of development and international integration of Vietnam.

The Congress not only summarizes the 40 years of Doi Moi and the 13th Congress term, but also shapes strategic thinking, establishes major goals and orientations for the country until 2030 and development vision to 2045; at the same time sends a message about a Vietnam that is steadfast in its path of development, independence, peace, friendship, cooperation and development, multilateralization, diversification of foreign relations; equal and mutually beneficial cooperation; is a friend, a trusted partner, an active and responsible member of the international community; proactively and responsibly participates in solving common regional and global issues.

It can be said that the 14th Congress was prepared in a proactive and confident position, reflecting the Party's bravery and long-term strategic vision in the context of a changing world, clearly demonstrating the determination of the entire Party and people to move the country forward strongly in the new era.

Bringing foreign affairs to remarkable development in the new era

Sharing about the expectations for the results of the 14th Congress in continuing to lead Vietnam in development in the coming term, Ambassador Pham Thanh Binh expressed his belief that the 14th Congress will create a strong development momentum for the country, not only in terms of goals and strategic orientation, but more importantly, in terms of organizational capacity and effectiveness of national governance in the coming period.

Clearly identifying key tasks and strategic breakthroughs, especially in institutions, science - technology, human resources and infrastructure, will help transform development aspirations into specific and feasible action programs.

"The 14th National Congress is expected to clearly establish rapid and sustainable development goals; strengthen strategic autonomy, self-reliance, and self-reliance; closely link socio-economic development with ensuring national defense, security and expanding foreign affairs. The 14th Congress will not only lead the country in development in the coming term, but also create a solid foundation for Vietnam to confidently enter a new stage of development" - Ambassador Pham Thanh Binh emphasized.

Regarding foreign affairs, according to Ambassador Pham Thanh Binh, the 14th Congress resolution is expected to continue to develop Vietnam's foreign affairs remarkably in the new era, commensurate with the historical and cultural stature and position of the country; closely link economic development with ensuring national defense, security and expanding foreign relations; comprehensive, extensive and more effective international integration, proactively participating and contributing responsibly to regional and global governance mechanisms and institutions; making the most of external resources for development, while enhancing the country's prestige, role and international position.

Ambassador Pham Thanh Binh affirmed that the results of the 14th Congress will continue to create a solid political foundation for Vietnam to adhere to its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, proactiveness, and active, comprehensive, extensive, and effective international integration; harmoniously handling relations with partners, especially major countries, neighboring countries, and important partners.

Strategic platform to maintain relations with China

Regarding the Vietnam - China relationship and the prospects for cooperation between the two countries in the coming time with the orientations of the 14th National Congress, Mr. Pham Thanh Binh said that in recent times, the Vietnam - China friendship has continued to maintain a positive, stable and in-depth development trend, with increasingly consolidated political trust, substantive cooperation in many fields achieving clear results and increasingly close and intimate people-to-people exchanges.

In particular, in 2025, the two countries successfully organized many practical and meaningful activities, successfully concluding the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and the Vietnam - China Humanitarian Exchange Year, creating new momentum and a more solid social foundation for bilateral relations.

On that basis, the Vietnam - China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Partnership and the Community of Shared Future have strategic significance and are at a very good and favorable stage of development.

In that context, the major orientations of the 14th National Congress are very important for the prospects for Vietnam - China cooperation in the coming time. The foreign policy established in the Congress documents continues to clearly affirm independence, self-reliance, multilateralization, and diversification, putting national and ethnic interests first, while emphasizing the need to strengthen national defense and security associated with promoting foreign affairs and international integration as an important and regular task.

This is a strategic foundation for Vietnam to maintain a stable and long-term friendly neighborhood with China in the current volatile regional and international environment.

These are also solid foundations for representative agencies of the two countries, including the Vietnamese Embassy in China, to continue to more effectively carry out their foreign missions.

The 14th National Congress also clearly identified the requirements for foreign development in the new era, commensurate with the historical stature, culture and position of the country, comprehensive, extensive and effective international integration.

These orientations open up more room for Vietnam and China to promote higher-quality, more balanced and sustainable cooperation, especially in areas such as economy - trade, investment, supply chain connection, digital transformation, green growth, science - technology and humanitarian exchange.

"I believe that, on the basis of the high-level common perception of the two Parties and two countries, along with the strategic orientation set by the 14th National Congress, the Vietnam - China relationship will continue to be led in a stable, healthy and substantial direction, towards an increasingly better future, both bringing practical benefits to the people of the two countries and actively contributing to the peace, stability and development of the region and the world" - Ambassador Pham Thanh Binh affirmed.
