At his meeting in Hanoi on Feb. 7, General Secretary Manh told new ambassadors, general consuls and heads of diplomatic missions that the appointment is a ‘great honour’ and a ‘glorious task’ entrusted to them by the Party, State and people.
He reminded the diplomats to thoroughly grasp and implement the Party and State’s foreign policy of self-reliance, peace, cooperation and development, multilateralisation and diversification of international relations, and integration into the world economy as well as expansion of cooperation in other areas.
Vietnam is a friend, a reliable partner and a responsible member of the international community, taking an active part in regional and international cooperation, the Party leader said./.
