Berlin (VNA) - Vietnamese expatriates in Germany have had faith in the
leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in the past and hope that the
successful organisation of the 13th National Party Congress will help
the country enter a new stage of development.
Professor Nguyen Van Thoai from the University of Trier in Rheinland-Pfalz state
recalled Vietnam’s tough period after being subject to a trade embargo in the 1980s.
Thanks to the Party’s introduction of the “Doi Moi” (renewal) policy in 1986, the
country has shot to stardom in the international arena.
Remarkable achievements have been recorded since, with GDP now topping 250 billion
USD and the emergence of the private sector that contributes significantly to national
development.
Thoai especially emphasised that Vietnam has become recognised worldwide for its
control over the COVID-19 pandemic and its ability to expand its economy.
Regarding external affairs, Vietnam has played an increasingly important role within
ASEAN as well as the UN, with a host of initiatives and contributions being
praised by international friends.
Along with establishing sound multilateral relations with many countries, Vietnam
has engaged in UN peacekeeping missions, Thoai underscored, saying that Vietnamese
expatriates and intellectuals have been delighted with the homeland’s achievements.
Sharing the same view, President of the Tan Trao Association in Germany, Le Hong
Cuong, expressed his pride over the Party’s leadership - a key factor in the country’s
achievements and victories.
The CPV’s policies have helped the country gain prestige in the region and the world
while improving local livelihoods, he said, emphasising that Vietnamese expatriates
keep a close watch on political and socio-economic achievements in their homeland.
Meanwhile, vice president of the Germany-Vietnam economic innovation association,
Nguyen Viet Anh, has faith in the 13th National Party Congress’s success
on the back of the meticulous preparation of documents that are in line with the
Party’s strategies and public opinion.
Thoai and Anh held that along with economic development, the country needs to pay
due attention to improving the environment and outlining additional policies to
narrow the development gap between urban and rural areas as well as the rich and
poor.
Anh hoped that Party and State leaders will continue to promote socio-economic development
based on the country’s strengths and international cooperation, and enhance science-technology
application to respond to climate change and ensure energy security.
He also hoped that the Party and State continue to support the development of the
intellectual community in foreign countries, since they are an important bridge
in stepping up international science-technology cooperation, contributing to the
country’s economic development.
At a conference held by the Vietnamese Embassy in Germany to collect Vietnamese
expatriates’ opinions on the draft documents to be submitted to the 13th National Party Congress, they expressed their hope that the Party and State will
have more policies to promote national solidarity, encourage expatriates’ contributions
to the homeland, and support them in preserving traditional cultural values./.
