The President approved the ministry’s proposals for high-level diplomatic initiatives and urged alignment with the 13th National Party Congress Resolution and key documents on foreign affairs and international integration.
He called for focused, practical diplomacy, and balancing outbound and inbound delegations across Party, state, and people-to-people diplomacy. Diplomatic activities must prioritize expanding and deepening relations, maintaining a stable environment for national development, enhancing Vietnam’s global standing, and strengthening the great national unity. These efforts should also support strategic goals, including achieving over 8% economic growth this year, he said.
For high-level diplomatic missions, President Cuong requested meticulous preparation, innovative approaches, and effective programming to ensure their success.
Regarding the 2025 amnesty program, the President noted the release marking the 50th anniversary of the South Liberation and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - 2025). He urged the government, Supreme People’s Court, Supreme People’s Procuracy, and relevant agencies to ensure the process remains objective, transparent, and fair, meeting political, legal, and humanitarian requirements while contributing to social stability and national development.
Finally, the leader directed the Presidential Office to work closely with relevant agencies in preparing content for the sixth session of the National Defense and Security Council. He emphasized the need for thorough analysis and accurate forecasting of domestic, regional, and global situations to develop timely and effective policy recommendations, ensuring Vietnam remains well-prepared for all eventualities.
