Within the framework of his official visit to Malaysia, on November 22, General Secretary To Lam and a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation visited and delivered a speech at the National University of Malaya (Malaysia).
According to VNA, speaking at the National University of Malaya, General Secretary To Lam shared his impressions not only of the achievements that Malaysia has made, but also of the major orientations and plans that the Malaysian Government has set out and is implementing. These are long-term development strategies with breakthroughs, great vision and ambition, with the goal of making Malaysia one of the 30 largest economies in the world within 10 years, one of the regional "locomotives" in innovation, creativity, high-tech products and green development.
The General Secretary stressed that Vietnam's development path cannot be separated from the world and the region. Vietnam cannot achieve the above-mentioned goals without clear international solidarity, valuable support and effective cooperation from the international community, including Malaysia and ASEAN partners.
General Secretary To Lam believes that the newly established Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework will open a new era of development in the bilateral relationship, effectively supporting and complementing the development path for peace, stability and prosperity of each country and the whole region.
General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the next stage of Vietnam and Malaysia, the bilateral relationship as well as ensuring a fair, open international system based on international law depends largely on the strong development of ASEAN. The future of ASEAN depends on the determination of each member country, including Malaysia and Vietnam.
Vietnam looks forward to further progress of the ASEAN Community as well as each member country in the new era, for the development of each country, for peace, stability and prosperity in the region and the world. In 2025, with Malaysia's role as ASEAN Chair, Vietnam believes that ASEAN will make important strides towards a prosperous, united and developed community. Vietnam is strongly committed to accompanying Malaysia and ASEAN on this journey.
General Secretary To Lam said that to realize that vision, the role of young intellectuals, researchers and students is becoming more important than ever. Vietnam and Malaysia share the view of putting people at the center of development. Leaders of the two countries through generations have always considered education - training, scientific research and technology as the foundation of development. The National University of Malaya is a symbol of those efforts in Malaysia.
Vietnam considers education and training as a national policy, prioritizing investment for development, ahead of other areas; considering human resource development as one of the three strategic breakthroughs. Looking at the region, education and training is the driving force and foundation for ASEAN and each member country to rise up in a volatile world. Regional training and research centers, including the National University of Malaya, will help shape the future of the region, making an important contribution to peace, stability, prosperity and development not only in Southeast Asia.
On this occasion, General Secretary To Lam answered a number of questions from lecturers and students of the school related to Vietnam's foreign policy.
