International media outlets and officials have recently praised Vietnam’s increasingly proactive role in efforts to promote peace, stability, and international cooperation, as demonstrated by the participation of the country’s top Party and State leaders in major global forums.

The trip marked the Party and State’s first major high-level multilateral diplomatic engagement since the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), reflecting the country’s proactive and responsible approach to international affairs, the FM told the press on the trip's outcomes and significance.

President Trump highly appreciated General Secretary Lam's participation in the meeting, affirming his deep respect for Vietnam, an admirable country with an increasingly significant role and influence.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Vietnam to the United States Nguyen Quoc Dung gave an interview regarding Party General Secretary To Lam’s working visit to attend the inaugural meeting of the Gaza Peace Council in Washington, D.C., United States, from February 18 to 20, 2026.
