Mexico City (VNA)♐ – Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is not only one of Vietnam's most prominent leaders over decades, but also a rare genius theorist in a historial period with many changes like today, General Secretary of the Mexican Labour Party (PT) Alberto Anaya Gutierrez has said.
Mexican PT leader told Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Mexico that when learning about the passing of the Party General Secretary, he recalled his visit to the Vietnamese leader when the Party was treated at the Hanoi-based Central Military Hospital 108 in 2019.
According to Gutierrez who has visited Vietnam many times, that was a time that marked remarkable development in the relationship between the two Parties as the two Party leaders went beyond the framework of traditional diplomatic protocols to have a meeting. This was also the last time he had met General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, whom he greatly admired.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong highly promoted the combination of Marxism-Leninism and the revolutionary cause. Over the past ten years, the General Secretary has led the Party, Government and people of Vietnam to make important contributions to the development of Vietnam's socialism. His vision and leadership style are not only a guideline for the Vietnamese revolution, but also bring many valuable lessons to revolutionary movements in the world.
According to the PT Party leader, under the leadership of Party General Secretary Trong, anti-corruption and Party rectification in Vietnam have been carried out drastically, gaining many important results, firmly maintaining social order and following the socialist path in line with Vietnam's situation.
The anti-corruption campaign has also contributed to boosting the economy, reflected in the country's economic growth rate in recent years. The 2023 gross domestic product (GDP) reached a growth rate of more than 5% in in the context that the global economy was witnessing many negative fluctuations due to the impact of geopolitical conflicts.
Regarding foreign affairs, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's "bamboo diplomacy" imprint is vividly demonstrated through maintaining an open, balanced foreign policy of diversification and multilateralisation of intetnational ties. This diplomatic policy imbued with Vietnamese identity has also left a deep impression in the hearts of international friends.
According to Gutierrez, Vietnam is not only mentioned as a model of patriotism and a rich history of fighting foreign invaders, but also a country that has made many miracles on the path of national construction and development with its growing role and position in the international arena. This is also part of the legacy that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong left.
