Vietnam has become a model of sustainable development in difficult and complex conditions thanks to the country’s internal strength and outstanding national qualities, he commented.

In terms of culture, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong paid great attention to building an advanced culture imbued with national identity, he noted, asserting that this is considered the true spiritual foundation of society, the inner strength and an important driving force for the development of Vietnam.

Djouadj recalled General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s saying that “culture is the soul of the nation,” and “as long as culture endures, the nation endures”.

Lauding Vietnam’s bamboo diplomacy policy, Djouadj held that the diplomatic school with the strong identity of "Vietnamese bamboo" initiated by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has inherited Vietnamese historic traditions and concretized President Ho Chi Minh's idea on diplomacy and based on the country's current context.

The policy has helped Vietnam reap many positive results, he said, noting that Vietnam has established partnership with many countries and expanded its network of partners while ensuring sovereignty and territorial integrity and maximizing national and ethnic interests.

The bamboo diplomacy also helped Vietnam create economic miracles and record the fastest growth rate in Southeast Asia, he said, adding that Vietnam's international position has constantly enhanced, and the Vietnamese people are increasingly proud of their country.

Djouadj affirmed that under the leadership of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnam has been "prosperous and peaceful", with good economic development, stable society and increasing international status.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong left a great and profound legacy for Vietnam's foreign policy. Through inheriting and creatively applying Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong led Vietnam in implementing a diplomatic policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralization amid a complex international and regional context. Djouadj emphasized that the Party leader shaped and successfully applied the art of balancing relations between Vietnam and major countries.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a shining example in studying and respecting President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle, he said, holding that the biggest lesson he left for the younger generation is the will to not avoid difficulties and challenges and to live and devote to the fullest.

The Algerian friend underlined that the legacy left by the talented leader who devoted his whole life to the struggle for national independence and for the peace and prosperity of the Vietnamese people, will continue to inspire future generations in Vietnam.
