Since then, the Vietnamese people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, have firmly defended their country's independence, won victories in the fight to defend the Fatherland, recovered from the wars and made great achievements in national renewal and development,” said Mr. Trong.

At the conference, the political parties held that the world's people have a common wish for peace and freedom, and the political parties are responsible for addressing issues of public concern, and cooperating in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and recovering socio-economic development. They also discussed their own concerns such as fighting against embargo, terrorism and war.
