VietNamNet BridgeVietnamese diplomats will meet in Hanoi to discuss the best use of foreign policies to reinforce a peaceful and stable environment for national industrialisation and modernisation.

Deputy Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh.

Under the theme “Positively and proactively integrating into the world economy, contributing to successfully implementing the resolution of the tenth Party’s Congress”, the diplomatic conference, the 26th of its kind, will take place from December 1-10, Deputy Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh told the Vietnam News Agency.

According to the deputy minister, the meeting will assess profound impacts of the regional and international situations on the national security and development.

It will also examine the diplomatic service’s achievements and its weaknesses in implementing the foreign policy since the tenth Party Congress for lessons and experiences that will serve as a basis for future proposals and policies.

In doing so, advantages and challenges to the country in the coming time and the role and tasks of the foreign service in the new circumstance will be discussed thoroughly, Minh said.

He stressed that the diplomats will concentrate on such important tasks as promoting diplomacy in the fields of politics, economics and culture, mobilising overseas Vietnamese, and protecting Vietnamese nationals.

Minh affirmed that after 20 years of renewal, the country’s position and strength have been heightened, economy has been developing dynamically and the country’s prestige has been increasingly growing in the international arena.

He attributed those successes to the prompt and concrete instructions by the Party and State leaders and the support by the people as well as the contributions by proficient diplomats.

However, Minh pointed out that the country remains underdeveloped with backward infrastructural facilities that make it lag behind other countries in many aspects, including diplomacy.

There are rapid and complicated changes in the regional and world situations that challenge Vietnamese diplomats and require them to become sharper in forecasting the situation, thus giving prompt advice to the Party and the State leadership, Minh said.

He pointed to the need for diplomats to persist in implementing the defined foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation to serve national development.

Vietnamese diplomats should join other forces in promoting the national great unity to bring into full play the whole nation’s strength for national development, the deputy minister said.
