In a program broadcast live on July 19 of Channel One, politician and former member of the State Duma of Russia Vyacheslav Nikonov expressed deep condolences to the Party, State, and people of Viet Nam.
The Komsomol Truth newspaper wrote that under the leadership of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, Viet Nam attained the biggest achievements in economic, political, and social affairs and maintained stable gross domestic product (GDP) growth.
The media in Japan said Viet Nam’s most outstanding achievement during the Party chief’s leadership was high economic growth, the increased stature in the international arena, and the comprehensive, multidirectional, and balanced foreign policy in a polarized world.
The NHK television station and Nikkei Asia and Yomiuri newspapers perceived that the Party leader carried out comprehensive diplomacy to consolidate and maintained Viet Nam’s good relations with the U.S., China, Japan, Russia, and other countries and boosted multidirectional diplomacy even when the international community is increasingly polarized.
The Washington Post wrote that Trong led Viet Nam to a period of stronger economic opening, and his anti-corruption drive attempted to burnish public trust in the Party and its stewardship of Viet Nam’s economy, one of the most dynamic in the region, with sectors that include a growing start-up culture.
He was seen as an artful practitioner of Viet Nam’s “bamboo diplomacy” as the country navigates ties with its most important economic partners, China and the U.S., while also building bonds with nations such as India and Russia.
The New York Times said the Party chief was viewed as a frugal leader. He oversaw one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies and raised Viet Nam’s prestige on the international stage./.
