In an interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA), Dr Ruvislei González Saez, Vice President of the Cuba-Việt Nam Friendship Association, said Lâm’s views on external relations reflect the continuity of the Southeast Asian nation’s foreign policy, which identifies the most important factors to bilateral relations, and highlights the need to promote multilateral diplomacy.

This approach aligns with the principle that Vietnam wishes to befriend all the countries and the "four no's" policy.

The continuation of this policy will consolidate international confidence in the natural transition and transfer of power, which determines Việt Nam's political stability, he said, calling it a very important factor in maintaining the country's image and business environment.

Regarding corruption, seen as a threat to the Vietnamese Party and revolution, Ruvislei said Lâm’s determination to maintain the fight against misconduct reflects the importance of transparency.

Pointing to profound challenges caused by conflicts between powers and global uncertainties, with their impact felt in global values and economic growth, the scholar noted with its transformation and stability, Việt Nam would lure significant investments, and that the country has adequate conditions to complete its targets, towards new development stages.

Ruvislei also expressed his belief that Việt Nam will become an upper-middle-income nation, and one of the major economies in Southeast Asia, even among the world’s top 20 by 2035 or sooner.
