Under the leadership of Comrade Nguyen Phu Trong, for the first time, our Party issued a Resolution on continuing to build and perfect the Vietnamese socialist rule-of-law state in the new period, setting the goal of "Perfecting the Vietnamese socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, for the people, led by the Communist Party of Vietnam; having a complete legal system, strictly and consistently implemented; upholding the Constitution and the law, respecting, ensuring and effectively protecting human rights and citizens' rights; state power is unified, clearly assigned, closely coordinated and effectively controlled; professional, rule-of-law and modern administration and judiciary; a streamlined, clean, effective and efficient state apparatus; a contingent of cadres, civil servants and public employees with adequate qualities and capacity, truly professional and honest; modern and effective national governance; meeting the requirements of rapid and sustainable national development, becoming a developed country with high income according to the law." socialist orientation by 2045”(1).

Under the leadership of comrade Nguyen Phu Trong, the documents of the 13th National Party Congress have comprehensively and deeply mentioned the cultural field; The National Conference on Party Culture after more than 70 years is a milestone connecting the thoughts and actions of the entire Party, the entire people, and the entire army to strongly promote the role of culture in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland, realizing the aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country.

Analyzing the difference between the socialist rule of law state and the capitalist rule of law state, he stated that "The socialist rule of law state is essentially different from the bourgeois rule of law state in that: the rule of law under the capitalist regime is essentially a tool to protect and serve the interests of the bourgeoisie, while the rule of law under the socialist regime is a tool to express and implement the people's right to mastery, to ensure and protect the interests of the vast majority of the people" (5).
