Hà Nội, Viet Nam
Your Excellency General Secretary Tô Lâm,
On behalf of the Boston Global Forum (BGF), I extend my warmest congratulations to you and the leadership of the Communist Party of Viet Nam on the successful conclusion of the 14th National Party Congress. This important milestone reflects the Party’s unity, strategic vision, and commitment to advancing Viet Nam’s prosperity and long-term national development.
BGF has followed with great respect your emphasis on serving the people and strengthening governance capacity in a rapidly transforming global environment. In the Age of Artificial Intelligence, we believe Viet Nam’s success will be shaped not only by economic performance, but also by the quality of institutions, the ethical direction of innovation, and the ability to mobilize knowledge for national renewal.
The Boston Global Forum will continue to support Viet Nam in the months ahead, building upon the High-Level Roundtable held in London on October 28, 2025. We remain committed to constructive cooperation with Viet Nam’s leaders, experts, and institutions—sharing ideas, international experience, and practical frameworks that can contribute to human-centered and trustworthy AI development through the AI World Society (AIWS).
BGF is honored to present to you two special books that we believe are timely for this historic moment:
• America at 250: A Beacon for the AI Age
• Plurality: The Future of Collaborative Technology and Democracy
We hope these works will be useful resources for dialogue and reflection on building a new society, collaborative technology, and responsible governance—topics increasingly vital to all nations as AI reshapes economies and societies.
Please accept, Your Excellency, my highest consideration and best wishes for your leadership and for the continued progress of Viet Nam.
Respectfully,
Michael S. Dukakis
Co-Founder and Chair, Boston Global Forum
Three-term Governor of Massachusetts
1988 Democratic Presidential Nominee
