Meanwhile, the British BBC news agency emphasized that the 14th Congress is the place to make the most important decisions of the Vietnamese political system in the next 5 years, from economic policy, foreign affairs to personnel work.
The Financial Times (FT) newspaper acknowledged that the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam takes place in the context of Vietnam's economy - one of the fastest growing economies in the world - having to adapt to global trade tensions and profound changes in the international economic environment.
FT assesses that Vietnam is facing the need to shift its development model from relying heavily on exports and foreign investment to strengthening the internal resilience of the economy.
According to FT, state apparatus reforms, the promotion of the role of the private economic sector and the double-digit growth target reflect the leadership's efforts in realizing the aspiration to become a developed nation by 2045.
From a perspective on economic development prospects, China Daily newspaper of China commented that the 14th Congress takes place when Vietnam is emerging as a "growth bright spot" of Southeast Asia.
This newspaper cited data showing that Vietnam achieved GDP growth of more than 8% in the past year - the highest in ASEAN and said that the draft documents submitted to the congress have for the first time placed science, technology and innovation at the center of the national development strategy in the next 5 years.
According to foreign media, the 14th Congress plays a decisive role in determining the political and economic orientation of Vietnam for the rest of the decade.
Large-scale administrative reforms, efforts to streamline the apparatus and promote infrastructure investment that Vietnam has implemented in the past time show that the direction of prioritizing rapid growth goes hand in hand with ensuring security and political stability.
The 14th Congress is not only of internal political significance, but also an event closely followed by the international community.
The policies and personnel selected at the Congress are predicted to shape Vietnam's development path in the coming years, in the context that the country is facing both great opportunities and complex challenges of the international environment.
