The Vietnamese diplomat stressed that during the upcoming state visit by General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm, the meeting between senior leaders of the two countries and youth participating in the ninth edition of “Red study tour” programme in China reflects the special attention paid by the top leaders of both Parties and countries to nurturing and educating younger generations, enabling them to carry forward the revolutionary traditions of previous generations.
NA Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn said that his visit takes place at a time when Việt Nam–Italy relations are developing strongly after more than 50 years of diplomatic ties and over a decade of the Strategic Partnership framework.
The official visit by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico marks the first by a foreign government leader after Việt Nam completed the restructuring of its state apparatus following the 14th National Party Congress, and opens up opportunities for more substantive cooperation following previous high-level visits, based on the need to strengthen collaboration and high political trust between the two sides.
In a recent interview granted to the Quân đội Nhân dân (People’s Army) Newspaper, Party General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm, who is also the Secretary of the Central Military Commission, has emphasised the need to strongly reform leadership methods, tighten execution discipline, strengthen political and ideological work, increase inspection and supervision, and roll out decisive actions to swiftly translate the Resolution of the 14th Party Congress into reality.
Party chief, State President Tô Lâm called for building a contingent of capable, reputable and principled officers firmly grounded in the Party’s military and defence line; strengthening the army politically; and advancing the development of a revolutionary, regular, elite and modern People’s Army.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s official visit to Việt Nam from April 12-14 is expected to create new momentum and chart new directions for the relations between Việt Nam and Slovakia.
In the period of renewal and integration, the Social Order Administrative Police force continued to affirm its important role in advising on and directly organising the effective implementation of many breakthrough policies.
NA deputies expressed strong backing for the draft law’s policy directions, particularly provisions granting the capital greater autonomy in law-making, issuance of legal documents and piloting special mechanisms and policies.
NA deputies warned that if tensions between secrecy and transparency are not properly managed, expanding “no-go” areas for information could inadvertently narrow citizens’ access rights.
The Party and State of Việt Nam consistently create favourable conditions for the Catholic community to practice their faith while contributing to the nation, following the orientation of “living the Gospel in the heart of the nation,” said National Assembly Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn.
Cuban revolutionary leader General Raul Castro Ruz congratulated General Secretary Tô Lâm on being elected State President, describing it as well-deserved recognition of his unwavering loyalty to the revolution and his proven leadership in practice, enabling him to continue guiding the heroic Vietnamese nation on the path toward successfully building socialism.
As Russia pivots towards the Asia-Pacific and Việt Nam deepens its global integration, Việt Nam is increasingly viewed as a key bridge connecting Russia with Southeast Asia, a role expected to elevate the strategic value of bilateral ties and unlock new cooperation opportunities.
The celebration of the annual traditional festivals of Laos, Thailand and Cambodia serves as a meaningful platform to foster mutual understanding, strengthen people-to-people and cultural exchanges and expand multifaceted cooperation between Việt Nam and its regional neighbours, said Hồ Xuân Lâm, Vice President of the HCM City Union of Friendship Organisations.
Under the Civil Defence Law, the concept of “disaster” encompasses not only natural events but also human-induced crises and the consequences of war. However, the current draft appears to adopt a narrower interpretation.
Over the eight decades, the People's Public Security advisory force has remained absolutely loyal to the Party, State and people, and has given effective advice on the formulation and implementation of policies and laws on national security and social order.
Relations among Việt Nam, Laos, and Cambodia are currently built on three main pillars: a high level of political trust, increasingly deep economic cooperation, and growing people-to-people exchanges. This serves as a solid foundation for the three countries to develop together in the context of deeper international integration.
Lawmakers stressed that the amendments are urgent to institutionalise the national digital transformation agenda, reduce compliance costs and improve the efficiency of population management.
The visit also provides an opportunity for both sides to implement the Joint Statement of high-ranking leaders on strengthening the Vietnam–Italy Strategic Partnership, as well as action plans for bilateral cooperation. It is also to promote ties between the Vietnamese National Assembly and the Italian Parliament, and further deepen bilateral relations in a substantive and effective manner.
