HANOI - Vietnam’s ruling Communist Party chief Nguyen Phu Trong hailed booming economic development and containment of the COVID-19 pandemic as major achievements on Tuesday as he presided over the opening of a key party congress in Hanoi.

“Our country has been developing rapidly and sustainably, consolidating people’s confidence in the Party, the state and the socialist regime,” said Trong, reflecting on the Party’s record since 2016. A feature of the last five years has been a crackdown on corruption spearheaded by Trong - officially dubbed a “blazing furnace”. Trong said on Tuesday many cases of corruption cases had been detected, investigated and prosecuted, boosting people’s support for the campaign: “Corruption has been gradually contained and prevented,” he said.In the months running up to the meeting there has been intense competition for the limited number of top posts in the country’s government.

Despite the buoyant expansion - Vietnam’s economy grew 2.9% last year even as regional peers buckled under the pandemic - Trong acknowledged issues to be resolved for future prosperity.

Thought that was a picture of the UKLabour party conference

An American living here. The “communists” headline is laughable. It’s a no nonsense business friendly country. Every day I am embarrassed w American politics while the leadership here gets shit done.

Hmmmm, communism has its perks ? Seems to take a collective, non-selfish approach to combat this disease. Anecdotally Western Societies seem incapable of fighting a pandemic properly- selfishness, too much individualism ? covidFUckOff
