Lawyer Dang Chien Thang, who lives in Rockville, Maryland, shares his views with Vietnam News Agency correspondents in the U.S. on the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam. |
According to Thang, the foremost factor is political stability. Secondly, the economy continued to grow strongly last year, with Vietnam ranking 32nd among 218 economies worldwide. These represent remarkable and steady advances in economic development for the people. Alongside this, the cultural life has been sustained, with diverse forms enabling people to preserve and promote national cultural values, he said.
Assessing the CPV’s role in these achievements, the lawyer stressed that all recent economic, political and social outcomes are closely associated with the ruling party. In particular, he highlighted that 2025 marked a historic policy decision, the merger of administrative units and the abolition of intermediary levels of state management.
Thang analyzed that the reorganization of administrative units not only helps ease budgetary pressures and save financial resources, but also enables more focused and effective investment in regional and local economic development.
More importantly, the public administration apparatus has been brought closer to the people, allowing them to access and resolve administrative procedures, as well as matters related to public investment and state management, in a more direct and convenient manner. In his view, these benefits are tangible and long-lasting, and difficult to deny.
Regarding the expectations of the Vietnamese community in the U.S. towards the 14th National Party Congress, the lawyer expressed agreement and optimism at the Party’s clearer and more open orientation towards the private economic sector's development.
He described this as one of the most evident shifts in the Party’s approach to leading socio-economic development.
Discussing the mobilization of resources from overseas Vietnamese communities, Thang affirmed that regardless of where they live, the homeland remains the source to which every Vietnamese looks, with a shared desire to contribute to the nation’s development.
“I believe that people will increasingly turn towards the home country, contribute to Vietnam’s development, and feel proud whenever the name Vietnam is mentioned,” Thang affirmed.
