Vietnam is implementing significant reforms aimed at enhancing efficiency and reducing bureaucratic redundancy, and the country has also emphasised its role as a regional stabiliser, given its ability to engage with major powers while preserving ASEAN’s centrality, the article said, adding that Vietnam has also utilised its flexible and balanced approach to forge new friendships and diversify its trading partners.
With its aspirations beyond Southeast Asia, Vietnam is deepening its engagement with major global powers, including the US and China. It has also strengthened economic and defence cooperation to balance its strategic interests, the article noted.
Europe also plays a significant role in Vietnam's expanding global outreach. As the Southeast Asian nation seeks to enhance its global footprint, it leverages its relationships with both Western and Eastern economic blocs, thus sustaining long-term growth and geopolitical stability, it wrote.
Meanwhile, several Chinese media outlets, including Guangming Daily, China News, Global Times, Phoenix TV News, Knews, Sina, and Sohu, also reported on Lam's visits, noting that they helped reinforce Vietnam's diplomatic strategy of "taking ASEAN as the centre", as well as strengthening intra-bloc cohesion through bilateral cooperation.
China's social media platforms such as Weibo, TikTok, and WeChat highlighted that the Vietnamese Party chief's visits aimed to boost intra-ASEAN cooperation, focusing on two key areas of strengthening economic and security ties with Indonesia, and promoting rule-building and investment attraction in Singapore. The articles emphasised that ASEAN unity brings benefits and stability to the entire region.
