The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam: A Political Milestone Shaping the Development Vision and Commitment to International Integration

Abstract: The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam constitutes a political event of strategic significance, defining the national development vision for 2030 and 2045 within a volatile international landscape. Grounded in nearly 40 years of Doi Moi (Renewal), the Congress reaffirms the Party's central role in formulating long-term development strategies, prioritizing rapid and sustainable growth, strategic autonomy, and the reinforcement of national internal strength. Significantly, foreign affairs and international integration are designated as "crucial and regular" tasks, equivalent in stature to national defense and security. Vietnam steadfastly maintains a foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization, and diversification, asserting its role as a reliable partner and a responsible member of the international community.
