Meeting with VNA reporters in Moscow upon hearing the news of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's passing, First Vice President of the Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association Petr Tsvetov sent his deepest condolences to all Vietnamese people and all members of the Communist Party of Vietnam for this great loss.

Mr. Tsvetov recalled that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a very prestigious Party leader who was elected General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam three times. Previously, the General Secretary held high positions such as Chairman of the National Assembly . Regardless of his position, the General Secretary always devotes all his efforts to the goal of a prosperous people, a strong country, and a civilized and happy society.

As a long-time researcher of Vietnam, Mr. Tsvetov wants to mention General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong as a sharp theorist.

With his profound knowledge and experience, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has made great contributions to the theory of building socialism in Vietnam through his articles on the nature of socialist revolution, on the renovation process, on building a rule-of-law state in Vietnam, and on the bamboo diplomacy style.

All those articles from the beginning and up to now have long-term significance, serving as the theoretical basis for the Party and State of Vietnam on the path of development.

The outstanding legacy of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, according to Mr. Tsvetov, is the bamboo diplomacy - a very beautiful image to talk about the Vietnamese style in foreign affairs - strong roots, straight trunk and courage.

Vietnam's foreign policy is based on the unshakable ideological foundation of protecting national independence, autonomy, and the interests of the Vietnamese people domestically and internationally; flexible - depending on the international situation, Vietnam's policy adapts so as not to lose its fundamental values, while at the same time bringing benefits to the country and people.

From an idea, bamboo diplomacy has now become a sustainable term, summarizing the diplomatic and international life experiences that Vietnam has carried out for at least the past 30 years, since Doi Moi.

With ideas of 21st century significance, after President Ho Chi Minh and a few of his students, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has made great contributions to Vietnam's revolutionary theory.

First Vice President of the Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association Tsvetov concluded that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is truly both a leader and a great theorist of the Vietnamese Revolution.

As a researcher and expert in Vietnam, Mr. Tsvetov emphasized that the role of the leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam is of paramount importance, has an impact on many institutions and social classes, and always carries a heavy responsibility in every step of the country's development.

In Vietnam, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a highly prestigious Party leader, an intelligent and wise man who makes decisions for the entire nation.

The meetings and talks between General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and foreign leaders visiting Vietnam have made important contributions to the country's foreign affairs.

Documents about the General Secretary's visits and meetings have been compiled into books, becoming valuable documents about Vietnam's foreign affairs activities.

Mr. Tsvetov shared that Russia is proud to be the place where General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong studied and defended his doctoral thesis at the Academy of Social Sciences of the Soviet Union.

The good impressions from the years of living and studying in Moscow must have contributed to creating a General Secretary who deeply understands the role of Russia as well as the comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and Vietnam in the modern world.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has visited Russia many times, met and held talks with all the top leaders of the Russian State, Government and Parliament visiting Vietnam. Those meetings aimed to promote the development of bilateral relations between Russia and Vietnam, and the General Secretary's personal role was clearly demonstrated.

The First Vice President of the Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association emotionally recalled General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's last visit to the Russian Federation in 2018.

The General Secretary attended the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association and presented the association with the First Class Labor Medal.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's speech at that ceremony left a strong impression on the audience when he emphasized the role of the relationship between the people of the two countries, the significance of people-to-people diplomacy, one of the three pillars of Vietnamese diplomacy along with Party diplomacy and state diplomacy.

Those three pillars are built in a balanced and even manner in Vietnam, thanks to the intelligence of the leadership, the solidarity of the society and the contribution of each individual.

On July 22, in an interview with a VNA reporter in Tel Aviv, Chairman of the Israel-Vietnam Friendship Association Eyal Buvilski expressed his deep condolences on the passing of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

He emphasized that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a leader who is devoted to the country, has led Vietnam to important economic achievements and strengthened its position in the international arena.

During the term of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, the relationship between Vietnam and Israel improved, and the two countries made great strides in cooperation areas.

Mr. Eyal Buvilski shared that he lived in Vietnam from 2001 to 2003, when General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong was Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee.

According to him, the Communist Party of Vietnam has set many development goals of "vision" and "dream." And up to now, after 20 years, it can be said that all "dreams" have come true, Vietnam has witnessed important economic achievements.

He said that these results were achieved thanks to the contributions of the Communist Party of Vietnam in general and General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in particular./.
