The draft documents of the 14th National Congress reflect a major change in Vietnam's foreign policy; from 'proactive' and focusing on the economy to comprehensive foreign policy.

Sharing with the press, Associate Professor Dr. Luong Tuan Anh from De Montfort University (UK) said that in areas such as defense, security and technology, it is necessary to "be commensurate with the historical stature, culture and position of the country".

According to Associate Professor Dr. Luong Tuan Anh, Resolution 59-NQ/TW of the Politburo on international integration in the new situation, issued earlier this year, has many new points compared to Resolution 22-NQ/TW in 2013, marking a change in perception of Vietnam's position in the international arena.

This was clearly demonstrated with the signing ceremony of the Convention against Cybercrime in Hanoi last month, when Vietnam transformed from a country participating in international conventions to a country that builds, contributes, and plays a leading role in international issues.

Associate Professor Dr. Luong Tuan Anh said that the event marked a turning point for Vietnam with a new position and increasing role in the international arena, and at the same time showed the comprehensive development of the country, from economy to foreign affairs.

Discussing the role of the private economy as the most important driving force of the economy as stated in the draft documents of the 14th National Congress, Associate Professor Dr. Luong Tuan Anh affirmed the necessity of this sector for the country's economic development. He highly appreciated the resources, dynamism and efficiency of the private economy, and pointed out that utilizing the resources of the private economy for the country's development will help reduce the investment burden for the state.
