Nearly 40 years of implementing the renovation policy under the leadership of the Party, our country has achieved great and historic achievements, including important contributions from foreign affairs and diplomacy .

The foreign policy of “independence, self-reliance, peace , friendship, cooperation and development, multilateralization and diversification of foreign relations”; “being a friend, a reliable partner and an active, responsible member of the international community”; being steadfast in principles and goals, flexible and clever in strategies implemented consistently, synchronously and effectively; at the same time, closely and smoothly coordinating between party diplomacy, state diplomacy and people's diplomacy.

The 13th National Party Congress has identified the country's development goals for 2025, 2030 and 2045. The 13th National Party Congress also proposed the policy of "building a comprehensive and modern diplomacy with three pillars: party diplomacy, state diplomacy and people-to-people diplomacy".

To realize the country's development goals by 2025, 2030 and 2045, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong requested promoting the pioneering role of foreign affairs, building a comprehensive and modern diplomacy, imbued with the identity of "Vietnamese bamboo": solid roots, strong trunk, flexible branches; in which "pioneering must first be demonstrated in thinking and awareness; pioneering in protecting the Fatherland early and from afar; pioneering in creating opportunities to promote national and ethnic interests; pioneering in combining national strength with the strength of the times, mobilizing the strength of the great national unity bloc, especially uniting the strength of the Vietnamese community at home and abroad" [*].
