This is the assertion of Professor Vu Minh Khuong from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (Singapore) ahead of the 14th National Party Congress.
Describing the Party's leadership and the picture of Vietnam during the tumultuous 2020-2025 term, Professor Vu Minh Khuong chose the keyword “resilience”. He strongly believes that Vietnam can overcome all challenges.
“There may be temporary difficulties, but Vietnam will emerge stronger and more resilient. This is something the world must acknowledge. Clearly, from minor shocks like the global minimum tax to vaccines or tariffs, and surrounding fluctuations, Vietnam consistently demonstrates calmness, and the greater the challenge, the more united and supportive the Vietnamese people are of their leadership,” Professor Vu Minh Khuong noted.
According to him, not panicking, not blaming, but working together to overcome difficulties is a timeless cultural trait of the Vietnamese people. The spirit of solidarity and unity during challenging times in Vietnam has “shone brightly” over the past five years.
Citing the context of the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of the 13th term, Professor Vu Minh Khuong considers it a classic lesson, where resilience relies not only on available resources but also on both domestic and international ecosystems.
The policy of “Vietnam befriends all nations” and “people supporting each other” is invaluable at this time. This is the resilience and quality that ensures the Vietnamese nation can go far, despite encountering specific setbacks and difficulties.
Professor Vu Minh Khuong stated that, over the past five years, despite the global economic slowdown, Vietnam has emerged as a bright spot during this period.
Vietnam strives with a clear vision to become a developed industrial nation. The power of this vision propels the nation forward.
He highly appreciates Vietnam's digital transformation infrastructure and favorable online working conditions. The high usage rates of the Internet, mobile phones, and ChatGPT in Vietnam demonstrate the country's ability to embrace new technologies and achievements to advance. In terms of physical infrastructure, the 3,000km of interconnected roadways across most provinces is a significant achievement.
Professor Vu Minh Khuong emphasized that a particularly valuable aspect of this period is the rapid development of infrastructure, from airports and roads to 500KV power stations. He expressed hope that this spirit will extend to metro systems in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in the near future.
Additionally, Professor Vu Minh Khuong noted that Vietnam's anti-corruption efforts over the past five years have made significant progress, with no exceptions. All violations are addressed, regardless of level.
He proposed creating “three lines of defense” to make anti-corruption efforts more effective.
First, anti-corruption must reach a level where everyone feels secure in their work, complies, and has no concerns.
Second, if violations reach a certain level, there should be red flags to prevent them from becoming severe.
Third, annual audits should thoroughly evaluate all these defense systems to ensure no further violations need to be addressed.
