Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung. The concepts of “strategic autonomy" and "self-reliance” are very important guiding viewpoints for foreign affairs. The congress documents affirm the role and mission of foreign affairs and international integration as crucial and regular tasks. Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung said that in the new era, foreign affairs must clearly demonstrate a new mindset and new aspirations of the Vietnamese nation. Foreign affairs information and propaganda need to be elevated, "telling the story" of a renovated and developing Vietnam that is striving to contribute to the common progress of humanity.
