Given a range of challenges facing the world, Vietnam, under the leadership of the CPV, has overcome obstacles, strengthened solidarity, protected its territorial integrity, and moved forward, he said.
The scholar lauded Vietnam’s achievements in different spheres after 35 years of reform, such as political stability and extensive and intensive international integration.
He recalled Vietnam joining international organizations like the WTO, ASEAN, the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in 1988, and the Asia-Europe Economic Meeting (ASEM) in 1996.
Berzig said that following the 12th National Party Congress, Vietnam stepped up international integration and brought into full play the strength and potential of each region.
The country has benefited in all fields, from politics and national defense and security to culture and science-technology, the scholar said, adding he has been impressed by anti-corruption efforts.
He hopes that with its creativeness, Vietnam can surpass all the challenges ahead and complete its set targets.
