Vietnam is the first country in the world to realise the UN goal of reducing the poverty rate by a half 10 years ahead of schedule. Alongside high economic growth rate and socio-political stability, such impressive achievements have won high acclaims from foreign diplomats.

After 20 years of the Doi Moi (Renewal) process, Vietnam has recorded remarkable achievements in various fields, and the country is likely to enjoy bright prospects in the future.

The remarks were shared by many foreign diplomats in Vietnam while talking about the country’s achievements during the renovation process.

According to French Ambassador to Vietnam Jean Francois Blarel, the renovation process has achieved economic and social breakthroughs in Vietnam.

“The renovation process has created comprehensive changes in Vietnam’s economic structure,” said Mr Blarel. “Thanks to the open-door policies, the Vietnamese Government has gained remarkable achievements in various fields, such as economic development, poverty reduction, education and healthcare. Success in the renovation process and opening up of the economy have helped Vietnam strengthen external ties with other countries around the world. Vietnam has successfully integrated into the world and now holds an important position in the international arena. The relations between Vietnam and France have seen constant development during recent times.”

Israeli Ambassador to Vietnam Ephraim Ben-Matityahu said that renovation polices have given Vietnam fresh impetus to develop the national economy. “What we see today is a beautiful picture of Vietnam’s dynamic economic development with vitality and bright prospects ahead. We can see changes in people’s daily lives in all parts of Vietnam, from urban to rural areas. All countries, including Israel, realised that Vietnam is a good partner for further co-operation,” he said.

According to US Ambassador to Vietnam Michael Marine, together with economic development, one of the most significant achievements of Vietnam’s renovation process is that Vietnamese people are encouraged to take part and contribute to the common cause of national development.

Ambassador Marine said: “I arrived in Vietnam for the first time in 1988, two years after the country’s renovation process was implemented. At that time, of course, I could not see many achievements of the renovation process. I returned to Vietnam 15 years later and witnessed great changes in all fields. I was much impressed by the busy life and enthusiasm of Vietnamese people.”

“At present, all Vietnamese young people are willing to make use of the advantages and opportunities ahead. With such a strong human factor, I believe that Vietnam will enjoy bright prospects in the future,” he added.

Foreign diplomats said that two important factors have helped Vietnam achieve great success in its renovation process – the enthusiasm and ability of the Vietnamese people and the clear-sighted leadership of the Vietnamese Party and Government.

Ambassador and head of the European Commission (EC) mission in Vietnam Markus Cornaro said: “Vietnam has gained remarkable achievements that other countries should learn from, particularly in terms of its successful implementation of the UN Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). The Vietnamese Government always maps out detailed plans to implement urgent tasks and makes clear orientations to achieve set targets.”

Regarding the human factor, British Ambassador to Vietnam Robert Gordon said: “The more I live in Vietnam, the more I respect Vietnamese people. I have been living here for nearly two years and visited almost of all parts of the country. I see that despite many difficulties in life, Vietnamese people are always optimistic and express determination and great efforts towards a bright future. This is an important reason helping the country gain significant achievements today.”
