Founded on the pursuit of an independent, autonomous, self-reinforcing, peaceful, friendly, cooperative and development-oriented foreign policy; the implementation of multilateralism and diversification of international relations; proactive and active integration within the international community; and the role of friend, reliable partner and responsible member of the international community, Resolution 06 sets the goal of developing a foreign policy in the new era commensurate with the historical and cultural status and position of the country.

The resolution clearly sets out the guiding principles of ideological orientation, notably affirming that foreign affairs and international integration are the concern of the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army; identifying foreign affairs as a “crucial and ongoing” task; firmly defending the spirit of strategic autonomy and self-sufficiency; guaranteeing national interests; and insisting on discipline in the implementation and effective respect of international commitments.

The resolution also defines several major directions for the future, including promoting the pioneering role of foreign affairs in risk prevention and contributing to the early and remote protection of the Homeland; the expansion of new development spaces for the country; strengthening Vietnam’s responsibility and contribution to resolving common problems of the international community; enhancing the position of the nation through taking advantage of its cultural influence and Vietnamese resources abroad; and the establishment of a global, modern and professional diplomacy, up to the strategic challenges of the new era.

They are based on strategic autonomy and national self-sufficiency, guaranteeing the defense of the nation’s higher interests, placing the people at the heart of all policies and considering contribution to the international community as a responsibility.

Secondly, foreign relations should become a driving force for the opening of new development spaces, organically linked to the process of socio-economic development of the country, contributing to attracting external resources and favorable conditions for the rapid and sustainable development of the country.

Third, actively participate and contribute responsibly to solving problems common to the international community, thereby strengthening Vietnam’s role and position within multilateral mechanisms. Fourth, raise the status of the nation so that it lives up to its historical importance, cultural identity and position, thereby contributing positively to human civilization.

Fifth, establish a global, modern and professional diplomacy, up to the strategic challenges of the new era, contributing to the achievement of national development objectives by the middle of the 21st century.
