This is not only a moral instruction for cadres, but also a fundamental requirement for building the Party, constructing a socialist rule of law state, and leading the country into a new era of development.
The Party emblem is engraved in the heart of the Party, in the heart of the people.
In the solemn atmosphere of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday, before Party members who have been in the Party ranks for 70, 75, and 80 years, the General Secretary and President's statement, "The higher the position, the more humble, clean, and responsible one must be," is not only a reminder but also the culmination of a great lesson on revolutionary ethics, exemplary culture, and responsible governance.
As the General Secretary and President emphasized, the Party Badge is not only pinned to the chest or framed on the wall, but is also engraved in the heart of the Party and the people as a symbol of faith, ideals, dedication, and exemplary responsibility.
Behind each Party badge lies a life that has traversed the great stages of the nation; there have been wars, sacrifices, and hardships; there have been reforms, construction, and integration; there have been quiet yet noble, simple yet glorious days. It is from these lives that we understand that the honor of a Party member lies not in the position held, but in the qualities upheld; not in the power once possessed, but in the service rendered to the people.
Placing this message in the current context makes its relevance and strategic depth even clearer. Our country is entering a new era of development, with the aspiration to build a strong, prosperous, civilized, and happy Vietnam. The tasks ahead are immense: perfecting institutions, streamlining the apparatus, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of national governance; developing science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation; building an independent, self-reliant, and deeply integrated economy; developing Vietnamese culture and people; maintaining national defense and security; and improving the people's lives. In this context, cadres are the key of keys; the quality of cadres determines the quality of institutional operation; public service ethics determines the people's trust; and the responsibility of setting an example determines the fighting capacity and persuasive power of the Party.
Setting a good example must become a culture of governance, a culture of public service, and a culture of development.
The higher the position, the less an official should view power as a privilege. Power in a state of the people, by the people, and for the people only has legitimate meaning when it is used to serve the people, protect national interests, and create tangible development results. Therefore, the more power one possesses, the more one must know how to limit oneself within the framework of discipline, law, ethics, and honor. Humility here is not a superficial display, but rather the ability to listen, respect reality, respect the people, respect colleagues, avoid complacency with experience, avoid overconfidence in achievements, and not detach from the pulse of life. A humble official is one who understands that every decision, no matter how significant, must be tested by the lives of the people.
Integrity is a vital requirement for officials in positions of power. Once power is dominated by personal interests, group interests, self-serving motives, or a short-term mentality, policies will be distorted, the system will lose its effectiveness, and the people's trust will be damaged. Integrity is not just about being free from corruption and negative practices, but also about being indifferent, avoiding responsibility, shirking authority, and not using one's position to create distance from the people. Integrity also means transparency in motives, honesty in actions, and consistency between words and deeds.
Responsibility is the highest measure of leadership and management in the current era. The country cannot progress if officials fear responsibility, evade responsibility, or only act for personal safety. A streamlined system is only meaningful when each position within it operates with a proactive, creative spirit, daring to think, daring to act, and daring to take responsibility for the common good. A correct policy is only valuable when it is implemented thoroughly. A major resolution only truly comes to life when specific individuals are held accountable for its specific results.
From a cultural perspective, the message from General Secretary and President To Lam also emphasizes that setting an example must become a culture of governance, a culture of public service, and a culture of development. This culture begins with the self-respect of officials: self-respect before the history of the Party, before the sacrifices of previous generations, before the trust of the people, and before their own honor. When officials feel ashamed of their wrongdoings, feel remorse for the suffering of the people, feel impatient with the inertia of the system, and prioritize the common good over personal gain, that is a concrete manifestation of the culture of setting an example.
For Hanoi, this message is especially significant. The capital city is the national political and administrative center, the heart of the country, a place where cultural traditions, heroism, peace, and creativity converge. If Hanoi wants to lead in innovation, digital transformation, modern urban governance, and the development of elegant and civilized people, it must first lead in building a humble, clean, and responsible workforce. The people of Hanoi must feel that the Party is close to them, that the government listens to them, and that the system acts for their benefit. That is the deepest measure of trust.
The message, "the higher the position, the more humble, clean, and responsible one must be," is therefore not just for a ceremony, not just for a generation of officials, but a consistent requirement for building a clean and strong Party. For the country to develop rapidly and sustainably, it must have a team of officials with sufficient virtue, talent, courage, integrity, and a desire to serve. In this new era of development, trust cannot be built on slogans, but must be nurtured by concrete results; prestige cannot come from position, but from contributions; power cannot be separated from responsibility, but must be illuminated by ethics, discipline, honor, and the interests of the people.
