Caracas (VNA) - The Vietnamese Embassy and the international military attaches association in Venezuela on May 22 co-organised a seminar introducing Vietnam's foreign policy and defence strategy.
In his opening remarks, Ambassador Vu Trung My highlighted the Southeast Asian nation’s consistent implementation of a development-oriented foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, friendship, and cooperation. The policy also covers the diversification and multilateralisation of foreign relations, proactive and positive international integration, and being a reliable friend, partner, and active, responsible member of the international community.
Vietnam has established diplomatic relations with all the 193 United Nations member states, including formal diplomatic relations with all the 35 countries in the America, he noted.
The diplomat went on sharing that the nation builds its defence strength based on the comprehensive power of national solidarity under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, while resolutely and persistently resolving all disputes and differences by peaceful means on the basis of international law.
Additionally, Vietnam consistently adheres to the "four no's" principle of not participating in military alliances, not affiliating with one country to oppose another, not allowing foreign countries to establish military bases or use Vietnamese territory to oppose other countries, and not using force or threatening to use force in international relations.
Expressing admiration for Vietnam's heroic struggle tradition, Deputy Military Attaché of the Mexican Embassy Witman 🅺Perez Cuevas said the event helped participants deepen their understanding of the nation and contributed to enhancing mutual trust and fostering opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between Vietnam and other countries./.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.

Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
