In recent days, the world media has reported on the passing of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, while recalling the major milestones in his career and the positions that the head of the Communist Party of Vietnam has held.

In the live program on July 19 of Channel 1 , political scientist - former State Duma (Lower House) delegate of Russia Vyacheslav Nikonov sent his deep condolences to the Party, State and people of Vietnam.

We deeply remember comrade Nguyen Phu Trong”.

Sharing this view, the Japanese press believes that Vietnam's most outstanding achievements during the leadership of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong are high economic growth, enhanced position in the international arena, and a policy of "comprehensive, multi-directional, and balanced diplomacy" in the context of a polarized world.
