She noted that in the context of a rapidly changing, complex, and unpredictable regional and global situations in 2025, Vietnam, under the leadership of the Party, has achieved important and breakthrough progress, particularly in institutional reform. This includes the issuance of nine strategic resolutions in key development areas, the rearrangement of development space and administrative boundaries, and the implementation of a two-tier local administration model. Vietnam continues to stand out in the region, with its economy reaching over 510 billion USD, growth exceeding 8%, per capita income approaching 5,000 USD, exports hitting a record 800 billion USD, and more than 20 million international tourist arrivals. National defense and security remain firmly safeguarded, while Vietnam’s international standing continues to be strengthened and enhanced.
She stressed that these achievements have been widely reported by international media and have contributed to shaping a positive image of Vietnam globally. In this spirit, the deputy minister directed relevant units of the ministry to create the most favorable conditions for foreign journalists to carry out their work during the congress, so as to convey its messages and outcomes to the international community in a positive, comprehensive, and objective manner.
