This article is one of the ideas in the above spirit and is presented in the following 3 main parts:
Part One
Our Party was born, leading the fight for national independence, liberating the South, and unifying the country.
The thousands of years of history of our nation have proven that patriotism and national defense, resolutely fighting against foreign invaders, protecting independence, sovereignty and national unity are extremely precious traditions of our nation. Continuing that tradition, since the mid-19th century, when the French colonialists invaded our country, not accepting the status of slaves, our people have continuously risen up to fight through patriotic movements that have taken place continuously and strongly in many ways with many different tendencies.
From the path of national salvation of the scholars to the peasant uprisings and the bourgeois revolution… despite the very resilient and passionate struggles and the great sacrifices, due to historical limitations, especially the lack of a correct direction, those movements were not successful. History requires us to find a new path.
In 1911, the patriotic young man Nguyen Tat Thanh (our beloved Uncle Ho) left to find a new path for the cause of national salvation and the struggle for national independence. With a great and burning desire, he came to Marxism-Leninism, finding in this revolutionary doctrine the correct path to national salvation - the path of proletarian revolution . After many years of working abroad, he persistently researched, studied, creatively applied and gradually spread Marxism-Leninism to Vietnam, painstakingly preparing the necessary conditions for the establishment of a genuine revolutionary party.
On February 3, 1930, the conference to unify communist organizations held in Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong (China), under the chairmanship of leader Nguyen Ai Quoc, decided to unify communist organizations in our country into a single Party, named the Communist Party of Vietnam.
This was a major historical turning point, ending the prolonged crisis in the organization and direction of the Vietnamese revolution. The birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam was the result of the combination of Marxism-Leninism with the workers' movement and the patriotic movement; proving that the Vietnamese working class had matured and was capable of shouldering the historical mission of leading the revolution. The Party's first political platform adopted at the Party's founding conference determined the basic path of the Vietnamese revolution, meeting the urgent needs of the Nation and the earnest aspirations of the people.
After its birth, closely connected with the people, receiving the people's sympathy, support and absolute trust; within just 15 years, our Party led the struggle for national liberation, carrying out three revolutionary climaxes: the 1930-1931 revolutionary climax , with the peak being the Nghe Tinh Soviet movement; the 1936-1939 revolutionary climax and the 1939-1945 national liberation climax , so that in 1945, when the revolutionary opportunity was ripe, the Communist Party of Vietnam led the entire Vietnamese people to achieve the "earth-shaking" victory of the August Revolution in 1945, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945 (in 2025 we will celebrate the 80th anniversary).
Immediately after the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was born, the revolution had to face many difficulties and challenges; at the same time, it had to confront “famine, ignorance and foreign invaders”. In that dangerous situation, the Party led our people to overcome the “life-threatening” situation, steadfastly protect and build the young government, and at the same time actively prepare in all aspects to enter the resistance war against the invading French colonialists. On the basis of the "all-people", "comprehensive", "long-term" and "self-reliance" resistance line, promoting the tradition of solidarity and patriotism of the entire nation, our Party led our people to successively defeat all the enemy's invasion plots and plans, especially the victory in the 1953-1954 Winter-Spring Campaign, culminating in the historic Dien Bien Phu Victory "resounding throughout the five continents, shaking the world", forcing the French colonialists to sign the Geneva Agreement (1954), ending the war of aggression against Vietnam.
From 1955 to 1975, our country was divided into two parts. Under the leadership of the Party, the North both made efforts to build socialism and fight against the destructive war of American imperialism, while also doing its utmost to fulfill its duty as the great rear base to the great front line in the South. The people of the South continued their steadfast struggle to gain national independence and unify the country.
With the spirit of “rather sacrifice everything than lose the country, never become slaves”, “nothing is more precious than independence and freedom” ; on the basis of the correct and creative line of the Party, with the combined strength of the entire nation, our army and people have successively defeated the war strategies of the US imperialists, completely liberated the South, unified the country, and brought the country together on April 30, 1975. That victory “will forever be recorded in the history of our nation as one of the most brilliant pages, a shining symbol of the complete victory of revolutionary heroism and the intelligence of the Vietnamese people, and will go down in world history as a great feat of the 20th century, an event of great international importance and profound contemporary significance” (in 2025 we will celebrate the 50th anniversary).
While urgently overcoming the extremely serious consequences of the war, the Vietnamese people continued to face new wars. Under the leadership of the Party, our army and people focused on restoring the socio-economy, fighting to protect the border, maintaining the independence, sovereignty, and sacred territorial integrity of the Fatherland; at the same time, fulfilling the international obligation to help the Cambodian people escape the genocide and carry out the work of reviving the country.
Looking back on the journey from 1930 to 1975, we are extremely proud, confident and deeply grateful to the glorious Party and the great Uncle Ho who have always wisely led the Vietnamese revolution from one resounding victory to another, continuing to write brilliant golden pages in the history of the heroic and civilized Vietnamese nation, admired and highly appreciated by the world: Successfully carrying out the earth-shaking August Revolution, seizing power for the people, bringing our country out of the slavery of colonialism and imperialism in 1945; Long-term resistance war against the invading French colonialists, ending with the Geneva Agreement and the victory of the Dien Bien Phu campaign that resounded throughout the five continents and shook the world; Building socialism and fighting against the destructive war of the American imperialists in the North, while fighting against the Americans to save the country, liberate the South, and unify the country, ending with the historic Dien Bien Phu in the air campaign and the Ho Chi Minh campaign.
Part Two
The Party leads the way in overcoming the consequences of war; carrying out the renovation and international integration process; building our country to be more and more decent and beautiful.
After the country was reunified, our country had to face many very serious consequences of 30 years of war. To overcome the consequences of war and continue to build socialism nationwide, our Party focused on leading the development and implementation of the 5-year socio-economic development plan 1976-1980 and 1981-1985. Thereby, the socio-economic infrastructure, especially industrial, agricultural, health, education-training, transportation, and irrigation facilities, was gradually restored. The state economy and collective economy were cared for and developed, making many contributions to the development of the country.
However, in response to the new requirements of the cause of national construction and defense in a country at peace, to overcome the shortcomings of the centralized bureaucratic and subsidized planning mechanism, leading to the socio-economic crisis in the post-war years, on the basis of summarizing the people's practical initiatives and creativity, our Party has carried out the renovation process, first of all, the renovation of theoretical thinking about socialism, in part in agriculture and industry, and gradually formed the National Renovation Policy .
The 6th National Congress of the Party (December 1986), based on a profound analysis of the country's situation and through the process of research and practical testing, with the spirit of "looking straight at the truth, correctly assessing the truth, clearly stating the truth", "renewing thinking" proposed the Comprehensive National Renovation Policy , marking an important turning point on the path of transition to socialism in Vietnam. The birth of the Renovation Policy met the demands of historical reality, demonstrated the steadfastness and creative thinking of the Communist Party of Vietnam and opened a new era for the country's development.
After the 6th Congress, the Party has gradually perfected and concretized the renovation policy, the basic and core content of which is reflected in the Platform for national construction in the transitional period to socialism (the 1991 Platform and the 2011 supplemented and developed Platform) and important documents of the Party through the Congresses. In the 1990s of the 20th century, overcoming the challenge of the collapse of the model of realism in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people were steadfast, continued to step firmly and creatively on the path to socialism in accordance with the specific conditions and characteristics of Vietnam. The Party Central Committee from the 6th to the 13th tenure issued many resolutions on fundamental and important issues of the Party and the development of the country.
Up to now, although there are still some issues that need further in-depth research, we have formed a general awareness: The socialist society that the Vietnamese people are striving to build is a society of rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness, and civilization; owned by the people; with a highly developed economy, based on modern productive forces and appropriate progressive production relations; with an advanced culture, imbued with national identity; people have a prosperous, free, happy life, with conditions for comprehensive development; ethnic groups in the Vietnamese community are equal, united, respect and help each other to develop together; there is a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, for the people led by the Communist Party; there are friendly and cooperative relations with countries around the world.
To achieve that goal, we have determined the need to: Promote industrialization and modernization of the country in conjunction with the development of a knowledge-based economy; Develop a socialist-oriented market economy; Build an advanced culture imbued with national identity, build people, improve the material and spiritual life of the people, implement social progress and justice; firmly ensure national defense and security, social order and safety; implement an independent, autonomous, multilateral, diversified foreign policy; peace, friendship, cooperation and development, proactively and actively integrate comprehensively and deeply into the international community; Build socialist democracy, promote the will and strength of great national unity, combined with the strength of the times; Build a socialist rule-of-law State of the people, by the people, for the people; Build a clean, strong and comprehensive Party and political system.
The more we go into practical guidance, the more our Party realizes that the transition to socialism is a long-term, extremely difficult and complicated undertaking, because it must create profound qualitative changes in all areas of social life. Vietnam moved to socialism from a backward agricultural country, bypassing the capitalist regime; the productive forces were very low, and it had to go through decades of war, with very serious consequences; hostile forces constantly sought to sabotage, so it was even more difficult and complicated, so it was necessary to go through a long transition period with many steps, many forms of economic and social organization intertwined, with a struggle between the old and the new. To say that bypassing the capitalist regime means bypassing the capitalist regime of oppression, injustice and exploitation; ignore bad habits, institutions, and political systems that are not suitable for the socialist regime, not to mention ignoring the achievements and civilized values that humanity has achieved during the period of capitalist development. Of course, the inheritance of these achievements must also be selective from a scientific and developmental perspective.
Putting forward the concept of developing a socialist-oriented market economy is a very fundamental and creative theoretical breakthrough of our Party, an important theoretical achievement after nearly 40 years of implementing the renovation policy, originating from Vietnam's reality and selectively absorbing world experience.
According to our perception, the socialist-oriented market economy is a modern market economy, internationally integrated, operating fully and synchronously according to the laws of the market economy, under the management of the socialist rule of law state, led by the Communist Party of Vietnam; ensuring socialist orientation, aiming at a rich people, a strong country, a fair, democratic and civilized society. It is a new type of market economy in the history of market economy development; a type of economic organization that both follows the laws of the market economy and is based on and guided and governed by the principles and nature of socialism, expressed in all three aspects: Ownership, management organization and distribution . This is not a capitalist market economy and is not yet a full socialist market economy (because our country is still in the transition period).
In a socialist-oriented market economy, there are many forms of ownership and many economic sectors. Economic sectors operating under the law are all important components of the economy, equal before the law, developing together in the long term, cooperating and competing healthily. In particular, the state economy plays a leading role; the collective economy and cooperative economy are constantly consolidated and developed; the private economy is an important driving force of the economy; the economy with foreign investment is encouraged to develop in accordance with the strategy and planning for socio-economic development.
Distribution relations ensure fairness and create motivation for development; implement a distribution regime mainly based on labor results, economic efficiency, and at the same time on the level of capital contribution and other resources and distribute through the social security and social welfare system. The State manages the economy by law, strategy, planning, plans, policies and material forces to orient, regulate and promote socio-economic development.
A basic characteristic, an important attribute of the socialist orientation in the market economy in Vietnam is to link the economy with society, unify economic policies with social policies, economic growth goes hand in hand with the implementation of social progress and equity in each step, each policy and throughout the development process. That means: Do not wait until the economy reaches a high level of development before implementing social progress and equity; and do not "sacrifice" social progress and equity to pursue pure economic growth. On the contrary, every economic policy must aim at the goal of social development; every social policy must aim to create a driving force to promote economic development; encouraging legal enrichment must go hand in hand with sustainable hunger eradication and poverty reduction, taking care of those with meritorious services and those in difficult circumstances. This is a principled requirement to ensure healthy, sustainable development in the direction of socialism.
We consider culture as the spiritual foundation of society, the endogenous strength, the driving force for national development and national defense; determining that synchronous and harmonious cultural development with economic growth and social progress and equity is a fundamental orientation of the process of building socialism in Vietnam. The culture we build is an advanced culture, imbued with national identity, a culture unified in diversity, based on progressive and humanistic values; Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought play a leading role in the spiritual life of society; inheriting and promoting the fine traditional values of all ethnic groups in the country, absorbing the achievements and quintessence of human culture, striving to build a civilized and healthy society for the true interests and dignity of people, with increasingly high levels of knowledge, morality, physical strength, lifestyle and aesthetics.
Our Party always determines: People hold the central position in the development strategy; cultural development and human development are both the goal and the driving force of the innovation process; education-training and science-technology development are the top national policies; environmental protection is one of the vital issues, the criterion for sustainable development; building happy and progressive families as healthy and solid cells of society, and achieving gender equality are the criteria for progress and civilization.
Socialism is a society that aims for progressive and humane values, based on the common interests of the whole society in harmony with the legitimate interests of people, which is qualitatively different from societies that compete for private interests between individuals and groups, so it is necessary and has the conditions to build social consensus instead of social opposition and antagonism. In the socialist political regime, the relationship between the Party, the State and the people is a relationship between subjects that are unified in goals and interests; all Party guidelines, policies, laws and activities of the State are for the benefit of the people, taking the happiness of the people as the goal to strive for . The general political model and operating mechanism is that the Party leads, the State manages and the people are the masters .
Democracy is the essence of the socialist regime, both the goal and the driving force of the socialist construction; building socialist democracy and ensuring that power truly belongs to the people is an important and long-term task of the Vietnamese revolution. Our Party advocates constantly promoting democracy and building a socialist rule-of-law state that is truly of the people, by the people and for the people, on the basis of the alliance between workers, farmers and intellectuals led by the Communist Party of Vietnam.
The State represents the people's mastery and is also the organizer of the implementation of the Party's guidelines; there is a mechanism for the people to exercise their direct mastery and representative democracy in all areas of social life and participate in social management. We recognize 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 exercise the people's mastery, to ensure and protect the interests of the vast majority of the people.
Through law enforcement, the State ensures the conditions for the people to be the subjects of political power, to exercise dictatorship over all actions that harm the interests of the Fatherland and the people; at the same time, our Party determines: Great national unity is the source of strength and a decisive factor in ensuring the sustainable victory of the revolutionary cause in Vietnam; constantly promotes equality and solidarity among ethnic groups and religions.
Deeply aware that the leadership of the Communist Party is the decisive factor in the success of the renovation process and ensuring the country's development in the right direction of socialism, we pay special attention to the work of Party building and rectification, considering this a key task of vital significance to the Party and the socialist regime . The Communist Party of Vietnam is the vanguard of the Vietnamese working class; the Party was born, exists and develops for the benefit of the working class, the working people and the entire nation.
When the Party ruled, leading the whole nation, was recognized by the entire people as the pioneer of their leadership and therefore the Party was the pioneer of the working class, and the pioneer of the working people and the whole Vietnamese people. Saying that does not mean lowering the class nature of the Party, but is to express the awareness of the Party's nature more deeply and more fully, because the working class is the class that has the benefit of unity with the interests of the working people and the entire nation. Our Party persisted in taking Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought as the foundation of ideology and guideline for revolutionary actions, taking democratic centralism as the basic organization principle.
The Party leads by platforms, strategies, policies and great policies; by propaganda, persuasion, advocacy, organization, inspection, supervision and exemplary actions of party members; Unifying the leadership of cadre work. Being aware of the risk for the ruling party is corrupt, bureaucratic, degeneration ... especially in the conditions of the market economy, the Communist Party of Vietnam has set a requirement to regularly innovate, self -adjust, fight against opportunities, individualism, anti -corruption, bureaucracy, waste, degeneration ... within the Party and in the entire political system.

The renovation process, including the development of the socialist -oriented market economy, has achieved great achievements of historical significance, really bringing great and great changes to the country for nearly 40 years, contributing to "our country has never had the potential, potential, position and reputation of international as today" .
From a colonial country, half feudal, our country has become an independent and sovereign country; Jiangshan brocade 330 thousand km2 from Huu Nghi to Ca Mau cape with more than 3,200 km of coast and geopolitical, geography of special importance has been collected. Before the renovation (1986), Vietnam was a poor country that was heavily devastated by the war, leaving very great consequences for people, about and ecological environment. After the war, the United States and the West have imposed siege and economic embargo with Vietnam for nearly 20 years. The regional and international situation is also complicated, causing many disadvantages for us. Food and goods of necessities are very lacking, people's lives are very difficult, about 3/4 of the population lives below poverty.

Looking back on the past foreign journey, we are happy and proud to see: In nearly 40 years of renovation, our Party has inherited and promoted the identity, roots and national traditions, selectively acquiring the world's elite and the progressive thought of the times, developing on the theory of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought, forming a unique and unique Vietnamese- diplomatic school.

And it is also in the process that our Party has accumulated and drawn many valuable lessons and molding the glorious traditions today we have the responsibility to try and promote. It is the infinite tradition of loyalty with the interests of the nation and class, consistent goals and ideals of national independence associated with socialism on the basis of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought. It is the tradition of maintaining independence and autonomy in the way; Mastering, applying and developing Marxist-Leninism creation, consulting international experiences to set out the right way and organize the effective implementation of revolutionary tasks. It is the tradition of sticking flesh between the Party and the people, always taking the people to serve the people to live and the goal of striving. It is a tradition of unity, organized and strict discipline on the basis of the principle of democratic centralism, self -criticism, criticism and love of comrades. It is the tradition of international solidarity, pure based on the principles and great goals. With all the humility of the revolutionary, we can still say: "Our Party is so great!

We are proud and trusted in the glorious flag of the Party in the context of the world and water situation in addition to the opportunities and advantages will also have many difficulties and great challenges.
