Criteria for assessing the relation between independence and self-reliance and proactive and active international integration (Part 2 and end)

17/9/17
To harmoniously handle the relation between independence, self-reliance and proactive and active international integration
First, consolidate and enhance the Party leadership and the State management capacity. In face of new challenges resulted from international integration, the Party leadership is the most decisive factor in overcoming those challenges. In order to maintain independence, self-reliance and effective international integration, it is necessary to carry out key steps to improve the Party leadership and ruling power as well as the State social management and operation at all levels, sectors, and localities. On the one hand, promote innovation in political field, optimizing the operation of party and government agencies; on the other hand, further promote the work of Party building and rectification, fight against bureaucracy, corruption, wastefulness and degradation of political ideals, morals and lifestyles of cadres and Party members, better exercise democracy in party activities. Continue to renovate and perfect the theoretical, communication and mobilization work of the Party in terms of content and format, closely follow reality, avoid formality, and staying aloof of the mass; renovate the work of cadres, and intensify Party inspection, rectification and discipline. 
Second, clearly confirm that the strengthening of independence, self-reliance and effective international integration are the cause of the Party, the State, the political system and the entire people. In addition to the Party leadership and right policy, the effective implementation of policy depends heavily on the participation of all levels, sectors and businesses as well as individual people. The revolutionary cause of Vietnam is always the cause of the mass. International integration is also a cause of the entire Party and people. Vietnam’s increasing international integration means that people, businesses, regions, economic sectors, and localities are all connected with the integration process. Thus, when Vietnam integrates comprehensively into the economic, political and cultural life of the region and the world, all Vietnamese people cannot stand outside this process.
Third, strengthen potential in all spheres, especially power, competitiveness and adaptability of the economy. Constantly improve and heighten the country’s position. Speed up the process of perfecting the socialist-oriented market economy; create a firm foundation and a structure for safe and sustainable development of the economy, improve the country's ability to adapt to the fluctuations of the international situation; pay attention to the development of education and training, science and technology, raise the quality of human resources; rapidly develop infrastructure.
In parallel with enhancing defense potential, combine closely socio-economic development with firmly maintaining national defense and security in the context of deepening international integration. Create “intermingled benefits" in all aspects between Vietnam and its partners as well as among partners in relation to Vietnam; maintain a balance of interests among major countries; attach importance to relations with neighboring countries, and ASEAN countries.
Fourth, rapidly improve the capacity of international integration, particularly build personnel, and strengthen apparatus and coordinating mechanism to deepen international integration. Good apparatus, qualified personnel, and close coordination will: 1. Reduce conflicts of local interest to create greater consensus on national and country interests; 2. Create self-confident psychology to participate in integration, discover and better take advantage of external opportunities; 3. Be more proactive and active in international and regional fora through initiatives and projects; 4. Strengthen research of forecasting, actively and positively detect and prevent challenges and complexities in the process of international integration. 
Fifth, formulate a centralized, unified, competent steering mechanism to deal with issues related to independence, self-reliance and international integration; improve the efficiency of inter-sectoral coordination in order to bring into play the advantages of each branch and each sector in the process of integration while coping better with the challenges of the integration process. Moreover, it is necessary to thoroughly study the resolution of the 12th Party Congress in developing and implementing the Overall Strategy for international integration until 2020 with a vision to 2030 issued in January 2016 which states: "The overall goal of international integration until 2030 is to contribute to strengthening national synergy" (2). The concept of independence and self-reliance in the context of Vietnam's deepening international integration should be exercised with caution immediately; at the same time, it must be flexible and prudent to allow appropriate adjustments to ensure security, development and elevation of the country’s profile. 
After more than 30 years of renewal, the Party and State of Vietnam have recognized and properly handled the relation between independence, self-reliance and proactive and active international integration. This contributes to recording historical achievements.
On economy: Vietnam is proactive and self-reliant to adjust its domestic economy to be more harmonious with regional and world economy, adjust the legal system and procedures in line with ASEAN practices and WTO regulations. Take initiative to adopt better measures and master tools of managing and regulating the modern economy, such as stock market, monetary market, and post and telecommunication market to facilitate fair competition between economic sectors while initially creating intermingled interests between countries with Vietnam. 
On politics: Vietnam has actively participated in activities of the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement; proactively and actively conducted dialogue with partners on both sensitive political issues and issues with different viewpoints; actively participated in the process of political and security cooperation in the region by developing the ASEAN Charter with standards appropriate to Vietnam. One of the prominent successes was the outstanding fulfillment of its role as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2008-2009 term. 
In the process of international integration, Vietnam has continued to maintain political stability and self-reliance in the development of domestic political institutions, such as the model of socialist rule-of-law state, model and organization of socialist democracy, improvement of the leadership and renewal of the Party's leadership style towards the State and society, and completion of the organizational structure of the State apparatus. In external activities of the Party and State, Vietnam have proactively chosen partners, forms, contents and level of cooperation. As a result, it will continue to maintain open, diverse and balanced external relations with all major countries and important partners to better ensure security, development and enhance the country’s position. 
On culture and society: In the process of international integration, cultural values and identity of Vietnam have been preserved and gradually promoted in the world. The two processes of building and deepening of national cultural identity and international integration have taken place simultaneously and complementary. The image of Vietnam that is in the process of renewal, integration, imbued with cultural identity has been widely promoted in the world. More natural heritage, tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Vietnam have been UNESCO List of World Heritage. Along with international integration in other fields, international integration in culture has contributed to the creation of new foundations and new tools to strengthen national independence and sovereignty.
On national defense and security: Vietnam has gradually expanded its bilateral and multilateral cooperation and exchanges, actively participated in the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), Shangri-La Dialogue Forum, expand cooperation in dealing with non-traditional security challenges, fight against transnational crime, and actively participate in Aseanpol and Interpol. International integration in the field of security and defense has made important contributions to the maintenance of security, stability, consolidation and enhancement of the country's position in the region and the world.
