Entering 2025, Vietnam is filled with aspirations and determination to step into a new era of growth, prosperity and civilisation. It aims for a growth rate of around 8%, with the potential for a two-digit growth under ideal conditions, Mr. Chinh said.

The Vietnamese Party, State and people will offer all possible support to ambassadors and heads of international organisations in Vietnam, making the country not just a place of work, but a second home, where together, they can build a future filled with prosperity and joy.

He affirmed that Vietnam will contribute more to global peace, cooperation, development, and solution of common issues to build a fair and equal international order based on international law, serving the common interests of humanity.
