In an interview with the Viet Nam News Agency on the occasion of Viet Nam’s 80th National Day, Prof. Bilveer expressed his admiration for the spirit of the Vietnamese people, government and army, highlighting their determination to keep pace with the times.
He said Viet Nam has managed its political, economic, social and cultural affairs effectively. Politically, the country has ensured stability, while economically it is among the world’s fastest-growing nations with growth rates of 5–7 percent. Viet Nam, he stressed, has achieved success in politics, economy, diplomacy, and in strengthening its international position.
The scholar also pointed to Viet Nam’s integration capacity, noting that while French and Russian once dominated as foreign languages, English has now become widespread. The country’s tourism sector, he added, is also thriving, attracting visitors from around the world.
Prof. Bilveer underlined that Viet Nam has emerged as a model in mobilising resources, planning for the future, and advancing beyond the legacy of war. With its dynamic economy, Viet Nam is playing an increasingly important role in the region.
Driven by a strong aspiration for growth, Vietnamese enterprises have actively joined the international arena, while foreign investors are eager to engage in the market. He noted that Viet Nam seeks to play an active multilateral role regionally and globally, and has done well in promoting win-win strategies in politics, economy, and diplomacy, including in multilateral forums.
Prof. Bilveer concluded that Viet Nam has become a true driver of positive development.
