Hanoi (VNA) ๊– Vietnam's achievements in improving living conditions of people and ensuring human rights have been acknowledged and lauded by the international community.
Upholding the Party’s consistent viewpoints on human development targets, the Resolution adopted at the 13th National Party Congress highlights "human security", demonstrating a new mindset on guaranteeing national security, during which efforts are made to ensure human rights while bringing a safe living environment to all people.
The congress determined that protecting human security is safeguarding national security, and vice versa, and regarded human security as part of national security. Human security and national security are intertwined.
According to the congress's resolution, people is the centre and the subject of the cause of reform, and national construction and defence. All policies and guidelines must stem from requirements, aspirations, and legitimate rights and interests of the people, for their happiness and wealth.
Minister of Public Security General To Lam explained at an online conference on the Resolution that human security is a state in which people can live stably and safely without threats of abuse.
꧋ Protecting human security is ensuring and fully implementing human rights and fundamental rights of citizens as stipulated in the 2013 Constitution, and ensuring that all people can lead a wealthy, free and happy life in an orderly, disciplined, secure, safe and healthy environment.

These views have refuted some arguments that want to separate human security from national security, and put human security above national security, thereby taking advantages of human rights and democracy to carry out acts aimed at infringing upon national security and accusing the Party and State of violating human rights and citizens' rights.
In fact, ensuring human security is to ensure national sovereignty and security first, which is the most sacred sovereignty, including human security.
This is the responsibility of the entire Party, people and army, and would promote the voluntary spirit, self-discipline and active participation of each citizen.
𓃲 The Party’s new mindset on human security is expected to bring about positive impacts and ensure that people live happily in a safe and healthy environment./.
Vietnam has always made efforts to implement its international commitments in protecting human rights in line with the conventions that it has engaged in, said Deputy Foreign Minister Dang Hoang Giang.

Vietnam’s consistent policy of protecting and promoting human rights has been clearly shown in the context of COVID-19 posing unprecedented challenges to global efforts in protecting human rights.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.

Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
