This means Viet Nam will work to make its bilateral relations more substantive and effective, Quan explained to reporters on Wednesday on the sidelines of the ongoing 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV).

The Party issued a resolution on enhancing Viet Nam’s multilateral diplomacy with the direction of proactive and active participation in multilateral mechanisms and initiatives, said Quan, highlighting that this is a development in the foreign policy of the Party and the Government of Viet Nam in the next tenure.

Regarding major outcomes of Viet Nam’s diplomacy, Quan said the country has joined nearly 20 free trade deals, which open up vast room for trade and investment ties with the world and this is a great effort of the nation.

He stressed the need to better policy system and infrastructure, including digital infrastructure so that the country could participate in the world’s playgrounds more confidently and practically.
