Professor Dinh Xuan Dung highlighted the depth of thought and enduring value of He Chi Minh’s wisdom in Vietnam’s foreign policy, explaining the core values that constituted President He Chi Minh’s revolutionary ideology and diplomatic approach.
According to him, the speech focused on three main points: the characteristics of Ho Chi Minh’s philosophy on foreign policy; the central and fundamental aspects of this thought; and its connection with the heritage and development of He Chi Minh’s thought in the documents of the 14th Party Congress.
Stressing the idea that “nothing is more precious than independence and freedom,” Professor Dinh Xuan Dung argued that the success of diplomatic activities, according to the philosophy of He Chi Minh, must rely on the internal strength of the nation.
He noted that this point, seemingly simple, actually constitutes a fundamental requirement for those who work in foreign affairs. In all circumstances, including during the difficult periods of the wars of resistance against colonialism and imperialism, Vietnamese diplomacy has always had to rely on its own strengths.

According to Professor Dinh Xuan Dung, “strength” – a diplomat’s most valuable asset – is made up of four fundamental elements.
First of all there is a legitimate pride, although marked by modesty, for the national tradition of construction, defense, cultural heritage and struggle. He believes that every diplomat should carry this deep pride within them, as a valuable asset in all international forums.
Second it is confidence in the unwavering will and unity of the Vietnamese people in the face of all challenges, even during periods of revolutionary difficulties and losses.
Third the victories of the Vietnamese revolutionary cause are seen as a source of inspiration and strength for diplomatic personnel on all fronts of foreign relations.
Fourthly there is faith in the Vietnamese people. According to him, although society still presents limits and imperfections, it is necessary to maintain faith in the qualities and strengths of the Vietnamese people.

Regarding the requirements for the development of diplomacy in the new era, Professor Dinh Xuan Dung highlighted three major requirements for current foreign policy activities: “comprehensive, modern and professional.”
In this context, the term “global” is no longer limited to the political or military spheres as before, but extends to the cultural and economic fields, promoting the image of the country and integrating the best of human culture.
Regarding “modernity”, he argued that it must first and foremost be modern in terms of people, from their posture and intellect to their diplomatic sentiments, thus allowing the diplomatic team access to modern thinking and standards of the world.
Furthermore, the requirement for “professionalism” is considered essential in the context of increasing international integration, which imposes higher demands on competence, know-how and integrity on the personnel of the Vietnamese Ministry of Affairs foreigners.
