According to Furuta, Vietnam does not pursue a policy of confrontation but attaches importance to maintaining a peaceful and stable environment while safeguarding the nation.
Lauding the external guidelines put forth by the Congress, the Professor expressed his belief that they will contribute to preserving peace and stability in the region and the world at large.
Another spotlight of the Congress is democracy, he said, quoting the Political Report presented at the event as saying that democracy in the Party is the nucleus to promoting democracy in society.

Regarding Vietnam-Japan ties, Furuta noted his belief that Vietnam’s foreign policy will help enhance the strategic partnership between the two countries and that personnel training will be a promising area of cooperation for the two countries.-VNA
