(VOVworld) - The 12th National Party Congress will mark Vietnam’s transformation into a modern, prosperous, equitable and sustainable society, Carlos Alzugaray, a former Cuban Ambassador to several many EU countries, told the Vietnam News Agency in Havana. Alzugaray said documents submitted to the 12th National Party Congress mirror a constructive spirit to move toward social equality, despite the global economic crisis. He said Vietnam boasts experience passed on by generations of Party leaders through different periods and lauded the Party’s democratic discussions. He said he is impressed by Vietnam’s institutionalization of decision-making models in the Party in a democratic fashion, describing this as a noted point of the 12th National Party Congress.

The ongoing 12th National Party Congress has attracted the interest of international media.

Venezuela’s Correo del Orinoco newspaper ran an article by Angel Miguel Bastidas calling the Congress an important political event, as it puts forth major decisions and policies. The national development plan for the next five years will help Vietnam become a modern industrialized nation.
