He highly valued Vietnam’s careful preparation for the political event, including launching an official website of the Congress nearly five months before it takes place, and collecting public opinions for the Congress's draft documents.

He said 2020 was a difficult year but Vietnam had managed to overcome all difficulties and challenges to achieve significant achievements, which were recognized by international friends.

Vietnamese people's interest in the Congress reflected the influence of this political event on their daily lives, while Vietnam's growing integration and position in the international arena explains the interest of the international community in the event, the ambassador noted.

The leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the fight against COVID-19 as well as its efforts to maintain economic growth have been acknowledged and appreciated by the international community, he said.

Vietnam is a model in responding to the pandemic in the world thanks to prompt medical measures, and the support and unanimous involvement of people in the COVID-19 fight, he stressed.

Chouaibi emphasized that the CPV's decision to adopt the policy of Doi moi (renewal) in 1986 has helped Vietnam become a successful example in social and economic development.

Vietnam has acquired an important position as an emerging country with strategic partnerships with a number of big countries in Asia-Pacific, he affirmed./.
