The birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam was a great turning point in the history of the Vietnamese revolution.

Founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam

Responding to the demands of revolutionary practice, on June 17, 1929, the Northern Region of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association established the Indochinese Communist Party in Hanoi . In November 1929, the comrades of the Central Region and the Southern Region of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association decided to establish the Annam Communist Party. On January 1, 1930, the outstanding representatives of the Tan Viet Revolutionary Party (a predecessor organization of the Party) met and established the Indochinese Communist Federation in Central Vietnam. However, in a country with three communist organizations, it was inevitable that there would be dispersion in forces and organizations, and that there could be no unity in ideology and action. The historical responsibility was to establish a single Communist Party, ending the division of the Communist movement in Vietnam.

From January 6 to February 7, 1930, the conference to unify communist organizations to establish the Communist Party of Vietnam was held in Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong (China) under the chairmanship of comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc on behalf of the Communist International. In the conference to establish the Party, comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc proposed 5 major points to be discussed and agreed upon, first of all self-criticism and criticism, "Abandon all old prejudices and conflicts, sincerely cooperate to unify the communist groups of Indochina". The conference agreed to unify communist organizations to establish a party, named the Communist Party of Vietnam. The conference adopted the following documents: Brief Platform, Brief Strategy, Brief Program, Brief Charter of the Party and the Appeal of Comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc on behalf of the Communist International and the Communist Party of Vietnam to workers, farmers, soldiers, youth, students and all oppressed and exploited people on the occasion of the Party's founding. In which, the Brief Platform of the Party and the Brief Strategy of the Party reflected the content of the first Political Platform of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The conference to unify communist organizations was as meaningful as the Party's founding congress.

At the 3rd National Congress of the Party (September 1960), it was decided to take February 3 of the solar calendar each year as the anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
