President Tran Dai Quang has requested heads of Vietnam’s diplomatic missions abroad to continue improving the efficiency of economic and cultural diplomacy, and popularising the image of the Vietnamese land and people in their host countries to contribute to Vietnam’s development and international integration.
At a reception for 23 new heads of diplomatic missions overseas in the 2016-2019 tenure in Hanoi on July 4, President Quang said that 2016 is the first year Vietnam implements the 12th National Party Congress’s Resolution, which sets forth four main tasks, boosting socio-economic development, building the Party, improving the people and culture, and strengthening defence and security.
Therefore, the diplomats should follow the resolution to carry out their work, with the focus on maintaining peace and stability, taking advantage of foreign resources to develop the country, protecting the nation, and increasing its position and prestige, he suggested.
The State leader asked the diplomats to exert their efforts to ensure the nation’s supreme interests, implement the foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation of international relations and the policy of Vietnam being a reliable partner and responsible member of the international community.
He required the diplomatic missions abroad to serve as support for the Vietnamese community in their host countries. He showed his belief that the diplomats, with their experience, will successfully fulfil their tasks assigned by the Party and State, thus contributing to national construction and safeguarding.
Duong Chi Dung, Ambassador and head of Vietnam’s permanent delegation to the UN, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and other international organisations in Geneva, on behalf of the diplomats, pledged to stay active in building a peaceful environment and making the most of foreign resources to help boost the country’s international integration and national socio-economic development.
President Quang asked the ambassadors to effectively implement three external affairs tasks as set out at the 12th National Party Congress. The tasks include maintaining a peaceful and stable environment, maximizing external resources for national development, being resolute in defending the nation, and improving Vietnam’s prestige.
The State leader asked them to focus on citizen protection and overseas Vietnamese affairs. He expressed his belief that the diplomats, with their experience, will successfully fulfil their tasks assigned by the Party and State, thus contributing to national construction and defence.
