The 14th National Congress of the Party: A strategic shift for Vietnam in the new era.

Cuban experts assess that Vietnam is now not only seen as an "Asian tiger," but is also entering a transitional phase to become a middle-ranking power.

The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (14th Congress) marks a pivotal moment in shaping strategic directions of action, paving the way for a new era of national development.

This assessment was made by Dr. Ruvislei González Saez in his article "The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Steps Towards a New Era," published on aladaainternacional.com, the website of the Latin American Center for Asian and African Studies.

According to the VNA correspondent in Havana, in his article, Dr. Ruvislei González Saez assesses that Vietnam is now not only seen as an "Asian tiger," but is entering a transitional phase to become a middle-level power.

This process requires Vietnam to reshape not only its domestic development strategies, but also its approach to international affairs, both bilaterally and multilaterally.

The author asserts that the 14th National Congress was a historically significant event, marking the first time that the Congress documents not only defined the vision and objectives but also included specific action programs with clear projects, timelines, and responsibilities.

This facilitates the resolution's immediate implementation after the Congress, thereby transforming ambitious strategic goals into concrete steps.
According to the article, after nearly a century of leading the country through numerous challenges, the Communist Party of Vietnam is facing a new historical task: to lead the country into a "new era of national progress," realizing the aspiration for a strong, prosperous, and happy Vietnam, and becoming a developed nation by 2045.

To achieve that goal, Vietnam needs to continue addressing many key challenges, such as strengthening the fight against corruption; improving the quality of human resources; perfecting the institutional and business environment; controlling debt risks; promoting innovation and development associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

In terms of foreign policy, Vietnam needs to continue diversifying its markets, proactively adapting to the complex international context, and avoiding being drawn into regional and global conflicts.

The article emphasizes that the Communist Party of Vietnam was the initiating and leading force behind the 1986 Doi Moi (Renovation) process – a historic decision that brought about profound and comprehensive changes.

After 40 years, Vietnam has emerged from poverty and underdevelopment, becoming one of the world's leading dynamic economies . The poverty rate has plummeted from approximately 80% of the population in 1985 to around 1.3% in 2025.

According to Dr. Ruvislei González Saez, Vietnam is on the threshold of a new era of development, with strong aspirations and enormous potential. The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam is of decisive importance for future transformations, in the context of an international environment fraught with instability and challenges.

This may be one of the most complex phases of the reform process, but it is also a time that opens up opportunities for Vietnam to break through and transform from an "Asian tiger" into a "dragon" in the region.
