Talking with the Việt Nam News Agency’s correspondents in Buenos Aires, Argentine scholar and journalist Gaston Fiorda praised General Secretary Trọng as a great leader and an outstanding theorist not only in Việt Nam but also in Southeast Asia, saying that he has left a valuable legacy in Việt Nam’s development and progress and his contributions to the national liberation and development will be remembered forever.
Fiorda also highlighted the Party chief’s significant contributions to bringing Việt Nam into harmony with other nations and promoting peace and balance of geostrategic forces. He specifically noted the “Vietnamese bamboo diplomacy” approach shaped by the Party leader, which underlines flexibility and resilience in international relations.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Industry Cooperation Committee, Xu Ningning, lauded Party Chief Trọng for his substantial contributions to Việt Nam’s economic development and friendly relations between the Chinese and Vietnamese Parties and the two countries.
Serving as the Executive President of the China-ASEAN Business Council, Executive Director of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs’Asia-Pacific Centre for China Foundation for International Studies, Xu said under General Secretary Trọng’s leadership, Việt Nam’s economic growth rate is now among the highest in the world, particularly in ASEAN.
