Sputnik Radio (Russia) said that the election of National Assembly Deputies of the 16th term and People's Council deputies at all levels for the 2026-2031 term is of great significance in consolidating the government apparatus for the new term and promoting organizational reform, as well as applying technology in election activities, thereby contributing to consolidating the political system and developing the country.
The Straits Times and Channelnewsasia (CNA) of Singapore reported that on March 15, tens of millions of Vietnamese people voted to elect 500 National Assembly deputies from a list of 864 candidates, as well as People's Council deputies at all levels. There are 182 electoral units nationwide.
Nikkei. com (Japan) assessed that the election demonstrated the right to mastery and the participation of the people in Vietnam's political life.
According to the US news agency, the election takes place in the context of Vietnam setting high growth targets and continuing to promote economic reforms to maintain the development momentum of the economy. The US news agency emphasized that Vietnam has achieved rapid economic growth for many years, thanks to exports and foreign investment capital flows. The new Congress is therefore expected to continue to implement policies to promote growth, modernize the economy and support the private sector.
The British news agency also said that tens of millions of Vietnamese voters go to the polls in the National Assembly elections held every 5 years. The British news agency noted that interviewed voters expressed hope that the elected delegates will continue to promote reforms, modernize the country and reduce administrative procedures.
Some young voters quoted by this news agency said that they hope the new delegates will introduce policies to support the young generation and encourage innovation. These opinions reflect the people's expectations of the National Assembly in solving development and national governance issues.
International press also emphasized the very high voter turnout in elections in Vietnam. According to many previous reports cited by international news agencies, the turnout rate often exceeds 90% and many times exceeds 95%, considered one of the highest levels in the world.
Some articles also describe the election atmosphere in Vietnam as "festival-like", with polling stations decorated with flags, banners and propaganda activities to encourage people to participate in exercising civil rights. The Star newspaper of Malaysia describes many residential areas decorated with flags and slogans, creating a lively atmosphere before and during the election day. According to AFP, many red and yellow banners have been hung on streets in Hanoi Capital and many localities, conveying the message of "National Day".
In addition to political factors, international news agencies also linked the election to Vietnam's long-term development strategy. US newspapers believe that the policies passed by Congress will play an important role in helping Vietnam achieve its high economic growth target and shift to value-added and high-tech industries.
Many articles also emphasize Vietnam's increasing position in the global supply chain. The fact that international corporations are shifting production to Vietnam is seen as an important driving force to promote growth, while making economic policies approved by the National Assembly particularly important for the investment and business environment.
