Jean-Pierre Archambault, General Secretary of the France – Vietnam Friendship Association(FVFA), made the remarks during an interview granted to the Vietnam NewsAgency’s correspondent in France on the occasion of the 90th foundinganniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV).
The CPV is a political force which led the revolutionary struggle of Vietnamesepeople to regain freedom and independence for the nation, he said.
Archambault expressed his admiration at great progresses of Vietnam thanks to itsDoi Moi (renewal) policy that has been implemented since 1986.
Vietnam escaped from the group of the most difficult countries, reaching thestatus of middle-income country in 2010, he said, adding that the nation achievedan annual average growth of between 6 – 7 percent over the past ten years, becomingone of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia.
The politician attributed Vietnam’s successes in international integration to thestrong political spirit of the Vietnamese Party, State and people.
Vietnam has so far established strategic cooperation with about 30 countriesworldwide, including all the five permanent members of the UN SecurityCouncil. Especially, the country was electedas a non-permanent member of the council for 2020-2021. This proves Vietnam's increasingposition in the international arena, improved by the country’s achievementsover its Doi Moi process, and the trust of the international community inVietnam's foreign policy, he said.
Vietnam's presence in the UN Security Council benefits Vietnam itself, asactions and contributions of the council will certainly help promote peace,stability and cooperation, and ensure sustainable growth and development, he added.
The FVFA serves a bridge connecting Vietnamese and French people, contributingto further promoting cooperation and friendship between the two nations, hesaid.
The association will actively operate in the coming time, focusing on thepersistent struggle for Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange/dioxin, he noted./.
