The summit themed “For the People’s Wellbeing: The Responsibility of Political Parties”, is held via video link and gathers more than 500 leaders of political parties and political organizations from 160-plus countries and over 10,000 party representatives.

The CPC and World Political Parties Summit is a multilateral diplomatic event that is held at a time when the CPC marks its 100th founding anniversary, serving as a platform to strengthen exchanges and learning of experience in governance between the CPC and political parties around the world.

Making a speech at the summit, Trong said that the Vietnamese delegation attended the summit with an open and cooperative spirit, based on the external policy of independence, peace, friendship, cooperation and development, multilateralization and diversification of ties, and the tradition of pure internationalism and respect for the Vietnam-China relations.

The Vietnamese Party leader said political parties should accompany their governments to bring happiness to the people, actively engage in efforts to respond to global challenges; uphold the spirit of solidarity and sense of responsibility; foster dialogue, respect each other’s legitimate interest, and comply to international law, especially in addressing differences.

“The most urgent issue of countries and political parties at present is to promote international cooperation to repel the COVID-19 pandemic, quickly restore socio-economic development and ensure social security,” Vietnam News Agency quoted him as saying at the event.

The Party chief said Vietnam’s practical experience is to consider the people’s happiness as the target and rely on their invincible strength.
