In his condolence letter, President of the Philippines Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. praised General Secretary Trong as a comprehensive and visionary leader, a lighthouse kindling Vietnam’s hope, and a great contributor to the country’s economic development and the effective combat against corruption and negative phenomena. He considered the Party leader’s “bamboo diplomacy” approach as an important factor making Vietnam’s external relations balanced and multilateralised.

The General Secretary’s enormous contributions will be forever in mind of the country’s people and future generations, President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. wrote, expressing his belief that the Party chief’s leadership values and principles will be upheld and developed strongly by leaders of the CPV. The message from President of Germany Frank Walter Steinmeier reads that as CPV General Secretary and President of Vietnam, Nguyen Phu Trong left deep marks on the country while enhancing and expanding Vietnam’s relations with Germany and Europe at large.

Hailing the role of General Secretary Trong, Governor-General of New Zealand Cindy Kiro noted that during the time he held the position, Vietnam obtained impressive economic growth and social development. He also realised the importance of the two countries’ relations and shared the aspiration to further intensify the warm bilateral ties.
