In today’s turbulent world, the fact that a socialist country like Vietnam is pursuing a peaceful path while maintaining an independent and non-aligned foreign policy holds great significance, according to Massimiliano Ay, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Switzerland (CPS).
Speaking to a Vietnam News Agency (VNA) correspondent in Switzerland on the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day, Ay highlighted Vietnam as a model of non-aligned diplomacy and balance, commending the country’s consistent efforts to promote dialogue among different systems while avoiding confrontation. He stressed that Vietnam has demonstrated its capability and always played an active, constructive role in diplomacy, international affairs and within UN bodies.
He affirmed that the Communist Party of Switzerland will continue its mission of raising awareness among the Swiss public of Vietnam’s positive and constructive role on the global stage.
He expressed his expectations for Switzerland-Vietnam relations, hoping that the two countries would soon finalise a free trade agreement.
Such a deal will be an important step forward for the Swiss economy, allowing it to diversify trading partners and reduce dependence on certain markets, while offering Vietnam the benefit of closer engagement with Switzerland, he noted.
According to the CPS leader, the potential for cooperation between the two communist parties is great in certain areas, suggesting that the two sides should maintain regular dialogue, exchange analyses, positions and viewpoints, and strengthen people-to-people ties.
Tourism, he added, is another sector with significant potential. He reaffirmed that his party stands ready to contribute to strengthening bilateral cooperation and to supporting Vietnam in gaining a deeper understanding of Switzerland’s realities.
