Resumen Latinoamericano commended the strategic mindset and long-term development vision of Vietnam’s Party and State leadership, particularly Resolution No. 52-NQ/TW issued in 2019, which outlines key policies for Vietnam’s proactive engagement in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is a crucial step toward a future filled with opportunities.
