He called for focused, practical diplomacy, and balancing outbound and inbound delegations across Party, state, and people-to-people diplomacy.

Diplomatic activities must prioritize expanding and deepening relations, maintaining a stable environment for national development, enhancing Vietnam’s global standing, and strengthening the great national unity. These efforts should also support strategic goals, including achieving over 8% economic growth this year, he said.

The President directed the Presidential Office to work closely with relevant agencies in preparing content for the sixth session of the National Defense and Security Council. He emphasized the need for thorough analysis and accurate forecasting of domestic, regional, and global situations to develop timely and effective policy recommendations, ensuring Vietnam remains well-prepared for all eventualities.
