The article emphasized that 2024 was the year for Vietnam to implement extensive foreign activities with many partners at important multilateral forums and mechanisms, with 60 events involving high-ranking leaders including 21 visits and trips to attend multilateral conferences, and 25 receptions for high-level delegations and world leaders.

According to Resumen Latinoamericano, Vietnam has established diplomatic relations with 194 countries. In 2024, the country upgraded its relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership with Australia, France, and Malaysia; a strategic partnership with Brazil; and a comprehensive partnership with Mongolia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

To date, Vietnam has 32 partners across various frameworks and has signed over 170 cooperation agreements in multiple fields.

At the multilateral level, Vietnam is increasingly asserting its capacity, role, and responsibilities in international issues, actively and proactively participating in regional and global forums such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the United Nations, the Greater Mekong Subregion, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Group of Twenty (G20), BRICS – a group of emerging economies, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Francophonie, and many other organizations.

Regarding Vietnam’s efforts in foreign economic relations, the newspaper said that Vietnam has effectively utilized 17 free trade agreements (FTAs) with over 60 partners, eliminating trade barriers to promote exports, achieving a record export turnover of nearly USD 800 billion in 2024. Vietnam has taken advantage of the investment shift to become an important destination for foreign direct investment (FDI).

Economic diplomacy has facilitated Vietnam's technological cooperation with key partners and major corporations, particularly in areas such as digital transformation, ecological transition, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence (AI). Vietnam has attracted high-quality investment in new technologies, developed the semiconductor industry, established an AI innovation centre, and trained high-tech human resources to realize national development goals until 2030 and 2045.

In conclusion, Resumen Latinoamericano cited Party General Secretary To Lam as affirming that the year 2025 holds special significance, marking the 80th founding anniversary of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and 50 years of national reunification. It is the final year for Vietnam to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, as well as marks the beginning of a new development era for Vietnam.

Earlier, Marcelo Rodriguez, head of the Commission for Foreign Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Argentina (CPA), has affirmed that the 95-year history of the CPV is a glorious journey marked by great victories and achievements.

In an interview with a VNA correspondent in Argentina on the occasion of the CPV's 95th founding anniversary, Rodriguez emphasized that the CPV has led the people through revolutionary struggles, defeating the armies of such powers as France and the US, and securing independence, freedom, and national reunification.

Rodriguez, who is also Director of the Héctor P. Agosti Marxist Studies and Training Centre (CEFMA) in Argentina, affirmed that under the CPV’s leadership, this diplomatic policy is the key to success in shaping Vietnam's foreign policy, contributing to promoting economic development, and making a significant contribution to multipolarism and peace in the globe.
