 Palestinian Ambassador Saadi Salama hails Vietnam's success in containing the COVID-19 pandemic during a meeting on January 18, 2021, to inform foreign diplomats and representatives of international organisations in Vietnam about the 13th National Party Congress. |
Lao Ambassador to Vietnam Sengphet Houngboungnuang said he was delighted to see Vietnam’s development in the 75-year building of socialism, especially the 35 years of renewal, and the five-year fulfillment of the 12th National Party Congress’s Resolution.
The ambassador noted that Vietnam has been named among the world’s 10 economies with the highest growth in 2020, with its average GDP growth maintained at 5.8% over the past five years.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), Vietnam has made strides in foreign affairs and international integration, helping to promote its status in the international arena, he said.
Palestinian Ambassador Saadi Salama said the successes in COVID-19 prevention and control have enabled Vietnam to organize the upcoming National Party Congress and made locals and foreigners in Vietnam feel safe.
German Ambassador to Vietnam Guido Hildner affirmed that with thorough preparation, the 13th National Party Congress will be a success. He said Vietnam and Germany will strengthen bilateral ties, especially in economy.
Meanwhile, British Deputy Ambassador Marcus Winsley said he is confident that aside from controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam will help to tackle other major challenges facing the world.
