LONDON – Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), Việt Nam has been built into a thriving economic, political and cultural powerhouse, said British researcher of Vietnamese politics and history and member of the Communist Party of Britain Kyril Whittaker. Assessing Việt Nam ’s achievements in 2023 under the leadership of the CPV, Kyril said the country followed the continuous line of previous years in enhancing the people’s lives in all respects. This reflects what Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng has recently emphasised, namely building on rapid but sustainable development. Besides this, Việt Nam has taken an active role in international organisation such as ASEAN, the Non-aligned Movement, the UN and the Mekong River Commission, he said, stressing that through these forums, Việt Nam has utilised its foreign policy of ‘bamboo diplomacy’ to expand relationships and create new partners whilst maintaining its independence, security and freedom and promoting peace. The corruption campaign has been carried out very well in Việt Nam and is an example and an inspiration to countries, parties and peoples all over the globe, he affirmed.
