During an interview with a VOV correspondent in Egypt on the occasion of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, El Taify said that achievements in socio-economic development, security and national defense, and foreign affairs have created a solid foundation for Vietnam’s rapid, sustainable development in the years ahead.

“The renewal process in Vietnam has written an exceptionally vivid success story, particularly in socio-economic development, from which Egyptians can certainly draw lessons. It has brought about unprecedented qualitative changes, helping to position Vietnam on the global political and economic map. The process has also brought significant improvements to the lives of Vietnamese people, raising incomes and living standards in all aspects,” El Taify said.
