It stood as a powerful testament to the unyielding spirit, unity, and determination of a nation striving for independence and reunification - a strength capable of overcoming any obstacle, Khuong told the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s resident correspondents in Singapore.

It is noteworthy that Vietnam did not rest on its laurels but instead embarked on an inspiring journey: from the 1986 ‘Doi moi’ (Renewal) cause to developing increasingly closer relations with countries that were once enemies.
From a global perspective, the professor emphasized that this victory will be viewed with particular admiration and respect by the international community during the 50th anniversary celebrations, especially in the context of the world transitioning to a new development model characterized by the technology revolution, globalization, and the ongoing fierce conflicts.
Over the past 50 years, Vietnam has grown to a level that many previous generations could not have imagined. Although there are still many areas to improve, it has made very impressive strides, especially thanks to well-chosen strategies in integration and development, stated Khuong.
He highly praised the leadership vision and mindset that have enabled Vietnam to keep pace with the trends of the era, adding that strong shifts, such as making the most of the power of mechanisms and transitioning from outsourcing to digital technology, are helping Vietnam make breakthroughs.
This is the culmination of the achievements made over nearly 40 years of renewal, he said, adding that if Vietnam continues to build on what has been done right and turns limitations into strengths, it will make significant strides in the new era.
The expert also highlighted three crucial factors for Vietnam's development in the new era: nationwide synergy, visionary leaders, and motivating younger generations.
