Talking to Vietnam News Agency, Secretary General of the Communist Party of Uruguay Senator Juan Castillo said the CPV’s responsibility for promoting the sustainable development of the nation is extremely enormous.

President Ho Chi Minh, who founded the CPV on February 3, 1930, and generations of Vietnamese leaders have been leading Vietnam on the path to socialism and much progress during the cause of “Doi moi” (Renewal), he emphasised.

Gaston Fiorda, an expert on Southeast Asian affairs at the National Radio of Argentina (RNA), held that during its 94 years of development, the CPV has shown its mettle and talent as seen in its flexible response to every challenge of the era.

He said he is impressed with the country's development achievements, particularly public transport infrastructure as well as modern urban areas and considerably improved life quality.

Highlighting the CPV’s leadership role, Fiorda attributed all the achievements to the sound direction by the CPV, which has created a politically and legally stable society with long-term development policies and programmes.

In a constantly changing world full of challenges, the Vietnamese people, under the CPV’s leadership, have always shown their capacity of rising from all circumstances to develop, even when the whole world fell into tragic circumstances such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, or the expansion of capitalism, the expert noted.

Chairman of the Israel - Vietnam Friendship Association Amikam Levy, who served as Israeli Ambassador to Vietnam during 2001 - 2003, emphasised that Party and State leaders of Vietnam are visionary and dedicated to developing a more powerful country and ensuring more happiness and wealth for the people.

He held that the country has chosen the right direction and had a strong leadership with clear aspirations and commitments.

Meanwhile, both Assoc. Prof. Dr. Laura Hernandez, Director of the Education Institute at the Central University of Venezuela, and Dr. Juan Gamez, a lecturer at the Venezuela-based Simon Bolivar University, expressed their admiration for the achievements of the Doi moi cause, initiated and led by the CPV.

They stressed that Vietnam has been setting an example for other nations around the world in the struggle for independence and people’s happiness.

In his article written on the occasion of the CPV’s 94th anniversary, Chairman of the Russian Council of Experts of the Eurasian Research Fund Grigory Trofimchuk used the image of “an enduring lighthouse on the chosen path” to affirm the CPV’s leadership role in the cause of revolution, construction, and development of Vietnam.

He added that the CPV has become the factor ensuring stability and security for not only Vietnam but also the entire Southeast Asia and the world. With its guiding role, it is the foundation of Vietnam’s prestige in the world./.
