The statement was made by G. Devarajan, General Secretary of the All India Forward Bloc (AIFB). According to Devarajan, the priorities set by General Secretary and President Lam are closely aligned with Vietnam's long-term national interests, elaborating that strengthening multilateral diplomacy and promoting an active role in the international community will boost the country's economic prospects by attracting foreign investment, enhancing trade partnerships, and accessing new markets.

This will help Vietnam enhance its global standing, protect its national interests and contribute to regional stability. This provides Vietnam with a platform to promote its values, including respect for international law, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, especially in the context of tensions in the East Sea.

The AIFB General Secretary believed that General Secretary and President Lam's call for Vietnam to become an active and responsible member of the international community reflects a broader vision of the country's role in the global arena. However, addressing the challenges posed by geopolitical dynamics will require a cautious diplomatic policy and a commitment to collective action. Devarajan emphasised that Vietnam's proactive foreign policy will play a crucial role in shaping the country's future as an influential and resilient nation in the international arena.
