As we all know, the Communist Party of Vietnam was founded on February 3, 1930; which means that on February 3, 2025, our Party will be 95 years old, and by 2030 it will be 100 years old; these are brilliant milestones of great historical significance for the Party, our Country and our People. Currently, our entire Party, people and army are joining hands, taking advantage of every opportunity and advantage, overcoming all difficulties and challenges, determined to successfully implement many policies, goals and tasks set out in the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress; at the same time, starting the preparation process for Party congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress.

The 14th Congress will be another important milestone on the development path of our country and our people, with the meaning of orienting the future; encourage, cheer and motivate the entire Party, people and army to continue to firmly follow the path to socialism, affirming that this is the right and wise choice, in line with Vietnam's reality and the development trend of the times; continue to comprehensively and synchronously promote the renovation process, firmly protect the Fatherland; By 2030, the 100th anniversary of the Party's founding, our country will be a developing country with modern industry and high average income.
To practically contribute to the celebration of the Party's founding anniversary on February 3, 2024, to arouse pride in the glorious Party, the great Uncle Ho, the heroic Vietnamese people; to strengthen confidence in the Party's leadership and the bright future of our country and our people; as well as to further promote the responsibility of cadres and party members in the entire political system, to continue promoting the patriotism and revolutionary spirit of the entire nation, and to be determined to build our country increasingly rich, civilized, cultured and heroic, we need to look back and objectively and comprehensively evaluate the main results, achievements and lessons that our Party, our country and our people have achieved through historical stages: (1) The Party was born, led the revolution, seized power (from 1930 to 1945); (2) National resistance war, restored peace in the North (from 1946 to 1954); (3) Building socialism in the North; fighting to liberate the South and unify the country (from 1955 to 1975); (4) Overcoming the consequences of war, protecting the territorial integrity of the Fatherland, gradually moving towards socialism (from 1976 to 1985); (5) Carrying out the renovation process, building our country to be more and more dignified and beautiful; expanding foreign relations, proactively and actively integrating comprehensively and deeply into the international community; our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as today (from 1986 to present); (6) and from now until 2030, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Party's founding. From there, set out tasks and solutions to continue improving the Party's leadership and governing capacity; promoting the renovation process synchronously and comprehensively; Successfully implement the goals set by the 13th Party Congress, which is to build our country to be increasingly rich, democratic, prosperous, civilized, happy, and socialist-oriented by 2025 and 2030. This article is one of the ideas in the above spirit and will be presented in the following 3 main parts:

PART ONE
OUR PARTY WAS BORN, LEADING THE FIGHT FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE, LIBERATING THE SOUTH, AND UNIFIING 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 path of bourgeois revolution... although they fought very steadfastly, with great enthusiasm and endured 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 the 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, approved 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, being closely attached to 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 high tides: The revolutionary high tide of 1930 - 1931 , with the peak being the Nghe Tinh Soviet movement; The revolutionary movement demanding people's livelihood and democracy (1936 - 1939) and the revolutionary movement for national liberation (1939 - 1945) , so that in 1945, when the revolutionary opportunity was ripe, the Communist Party of Vietnam led the entire Vietnamese people to 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, illiteracy and foreign invaders". In that dangerous situation, the Party led our people to overcome the "life-threatening" situation, steadfastly protecting and building the young government, while actively preparing in all aspects to enter the resistance war against the invading French colonialists. On the basis of the "all-people", "comprehensive", "long-term" and "mainly self-reliant" resistance line, promoting the tradition of solidarity and patriotism of the entire nation, our Party led our people to successively defeat all plots and invasion plans of the enemy, 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 earth", 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 regions. Under the leadership of the Party, the North both made efforts to build socialism and fight against the destructive war of the US imperialists, and at the same time devoted itself to fulfilling 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 be 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 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 our national history 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 epochal 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 genocide and carry out the work of reviving the country.
Looking back on the period from 1930 to 1975, we are extremely proud, confident and deeply grateful to the glorious Party and great Uncle Ho who 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-shattering 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 American imperialism in the North, while fighting against the US 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 IN OVERCOMING THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAR; CARRYING OUT RENEWAL AND INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION; BUILDING OUR COUNTRY TO BE MORE PROPER, BIGGER 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 were 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 building and defending the Fatherland in the conditions of 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 initiatives and creativity in practice of the People, our Party has carried out the renovation process, first of all, the renovation of theoretical thinking on socialism, in part in agriculture, industry and gradually formed the National Renovation Policy . The 6th National Congress of the Party (December 1986), on the basis of 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 National Renovation Policy , marking an important turning point on the path of transition to socialism in Vietnam. The birth of the renovation policy has 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 expressed 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 90s of the 20th century, overcoming the challenge of the collapse of the model of real socialism in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people have been steadfast, continued to move forward 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 term 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 research, we have Forming a general awareness: The socialist society that the Vietnamese people are striving to build is a society with rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness, 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 is 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 association 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, achieve social progress and justice; 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 a profound qualitative change 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. Therefore , 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 it bypassed the capitalist regime is to ignore the capitalist regime of oppression, injustice and exploitation; Ignoring bad habits, institutions, and political systems that are not suitable for the socialist regime, not ignoring the achievements and civilized values that humanity has achieved during the period of capitalist development. Of course, inheriting 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 basic 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 the world's experience. According to our perception, a socialist-oriented market economy is a modern market economy, internationally integrated, fully and synchronously operating 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, 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. The distribution relationship ensures fairness and creates momentum for development; implementing a distribution regime mainly based on labor results, economic efficiency, and at the same time according to the level of capital contribution and other resources and distributing 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 policy with social policy, economic growth goes hand in hand with the implementation of social progress and equity in every step, every 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 purely 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 hunger eradication, sustainable poverty reduction, and care for 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 progress, social justice 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, ethics, physical strength, lifestyle and aesthetics. Our Party always determines: People hold a central position in the development strategy; Cultural development and human development are both the goal and the driving force of innovation; education and training development and science and technology are the top national policies; environmental protection is one of the vital issues and the criteria for sustainable development; building happy and progressive families as healthy and strong cells of society and achieving gender equality are the criteria for progress and civilization.
Socialist society 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 political model and general operating mechanism are that the Party leads, the State manages and the People are the masters . Democracy is the nature of the socialist regime, both the goal and the driving force of the construction of socialism; Building socialist democracy and ensuring that real power belongs to the people is an important, long-term task of the Vietnamese revolution. Our Party advocates constantly promoting democracy, building a truly socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people and for the people, on the basis of an alliance between workers, farmers and intellectuals led by the Communist Party of Vietnam. The State represents the people's right to mastery and is at the same time the organizer of the implementation of the Party's guidelines; there is a mechanism for the people to exercise their right to 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 implement the people's right to 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 subject of political power, exercising 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 promoting equality and solidarity among ethnic groups and religions.
 |
Deeply aware that the leadership of the Communist Party is the decisive factor for 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 holds power, leads the entire nation, is recognized by all people as its leading vanguard, and therefore the Party is the vanguard of the working class, at the same time the vanguard of the working people and the entire Vietnamese nation. Saying so does not mean to downplay the class nature of the Party, but to demonstrate a deeper and more complete awareness of the class nature of the Party, because the working class is a class whose interests are unified with the interests of the working people and the entire nation. Our Party persistently takes Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought as the ideological foundation and compass for revolutionary action, and takes democratic centralism as the basic organizational principle. The Party leads by its platform, strategy, policy orientations and major guidelines; by propaganda, persuasion, mobilization, organization, inspection, supervision and by exemplary actions of Party members; and unifies leadership of personnel work. Aware of the dangers to the ruling party of corruption, bureaucracy, degeneration, etc., especially in the conditions of a market economy, the Communist Party of Vietnam has set out the requirement to constantly self-renew, self-rectify, and fight against opportunism, individualism, corruption, bureaucracy, waste, degeneration, etc. within the Party and in the entire political system.

The renovation process, including the development of a socialist-oriented market economy, has achieved great achievements of historical significance, truly bringing about great and very positive changes. for the country over the past 40 years, contributing to making "Our country has never had the foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today" .
From a colonial, semi-feudal country, our country has become an independent, sovereign country; the 330,000 km2 of land from Huu Nghi Quan to Ca Mau Cape with more than 3,200 km of coastline and geopolitics and geo-economics of special importance have been unified. Before Doi Moi (1986), Vietnam was a poor country that was heavily devastated by war, leaving behind enormous consequences in terms of people, property and ecological environment. After the war, the US and the West imposed an economic blockade and embargo on Vietnam for nearly 20 years. The regional and international situation also became complicated, causing many disadvantages for us. Food and essential goods were extremely scarce, people's lives were extremely difficult, about 3/4 of the population lived below the poverty line.
Thanks to the implementation of the renovation policy, the economy began to develop and grow continuously at a relatively high rate over the past 40 years with an average growth rate of nearly 7% per year. The GDP scale has been constantly expanding, reaching about 430 billion USD in 2023, becoming the 5th largest economy in ASEAN and 35th among the 40 largest economies in the world. GDP per capita increased 58 times, to about 4,300 USD in 2023; Vietnam has left the group of low-income countries since 2008 and will become an upper-middle-income country by 2030 (about 7,500 USD). From a country with chronic food shortages, Vietnam has not only ensured food security but also become a leading exporter of rice and many other agricultural products in the world. Industry and services have developed quite rapidly, continuously increasing and currently account for about 88% of GDP. Total import-export turnover has increased sharply, reaching nearly 700 billion USD in 2023, of which export turnover reached over 355 billion USD, trade surplus reached a record 28 billion USD; Vietnam has become the 22nd largest trading partner in the world. Foreign exchange reserves have increased sharply, reaching 100 billion USD in 2023. Foreign investment has continuously developed, with registered capital increasing by 32%, realized capital increasing by 3%, reaching 23 billion USD in 2023, the highest ever; and Vietnam has become one of the leading countries in ASEAN in attracting FDI. Vietnam's Global Innovation Index (GII) in 2023 was ranked 46th out of 132 countries by international organizations.
Currently, Vietnam is still in the golden population period with a population of more than 100 million people (in 1945, 1975, 1986, the numbers were over 20, 47 and 61 million people respectively), ranking 16th in the world, including about 53 million workers aged 15 and over and 54 ethnic groups; the great solidarity bloc of ethnic groups is constantly being consolidated and strengthened. The quality of the population has been gradually improved and enhanced, associated with the attention to investment in the development of health, education, training, science and technology sectors in accordance with the spirit of prioritizing investment in the development of these fields as the top national policy; currently, there are 12.5 doctors and 32 hospital beds per 10,000 people; along with China, Vietnam is assessed by the World Bank (WB) as two pioneering countries in educational innovation and has achieved very impressive development in this field.
Economic development has helped the country escape the socio-economic crisis of the 1980s and significantly improve people's lives. The average poverty rate has decreased by about 1.5% per year; from 58% according to the old standard of 1993 of the Government to 2.93% according to the multidimensional poverty standard (higher criteria than before) in 2023. Up to now, 78% of communes have met the new rural standards; most rural communes have car roads to the center, have national grid electricity, primary and secondary schools, medical stations and telephone networks. The urbanization process has been accelerated in conjunction with the industrialization and modernization of the country; the urbanization rate has reached about 43%; the socio-economic infrastructure system in both rural and urban areas, especially health infrastructure, education - training, transportation, post and telecommunications have all developed strongly; Has put into use many modern airports and ports, more than 1,900 km of highways and widely covered 4G and 5G networks.
While there are no conditions to ensure free education for everyone at all levels, Vietnam focused on eliminating illiteracy, universalizing primary education by 2000 and universalizing lower secondary education by 2014; the number of university and college students has increased nearly 20 times in the past 40 years. Currently, Vietnam has nearly 99% of adults who can read and write. While it has not been able to ensure free health care services for all people, Vietnam has expanded the coverage of compulsory and voluntary health insurance, reaching 93.35% to date (in 1993 it was only 5.4%); at the same time, it has focused on strengthening preventive medicine, preventing and fighting epidemics, and supporting people in difficult circumstances. Many epidemics that were common in the past have been successfully controlled. The poor, children under 6 years old and the elderly are provided with free health insurance. The rate of malnutrition in children and the rate of infant mortality decreased by nearly 3 times. The average life expectancy of the population increased from 62 years in 1990 to 73.7 years in 2023. Thanks to the economic development, we have had the conditions to take better care of those who have contributed to the country, support Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, and care for the graves of martyrs who sacrificed for the Fatherland. Cultural life has also improved significantly; cultural activities have developed richly and diversely. Currently, Vietnam has nearly 80% of the population using the Internet, making it one of the countries with the highest rate of information technology development in the world. The United Nations has recognized Vietnam as one of the leading countries in realizing the Millennium Goals . In 2022, Vietnam's Human Development Index (HDI) reached 0.737, belonging to the group of countries with high HDI in the world, especially compared to countries with higher levels of development. Vietnam's Happiness Index in 2023 was ranked 65th out of 137 countries by organizations.
In the conditions of building and developing the country in peace, our Party has always closely led the implementation of the task of protecting the Fatherland; has issued and directed the successful implementation of many Fatherland Protection Strategies through the periods; most recently, the Resolution of the 8th Central Committee, Session XIII, on the Fatherland Protection Strategy in the new situation . In which, it was affirmed: It is always necessary to maintain and strengthen the absolute and direct leadership in all aspects of the Party; the centralized and unified management and administration of the State for the cause of building and protecting the Fatherland; relying on the people, taking "the people as the root", arousing and promoting the will of self-reliance, self-strengthening, cultural traditions, patriotism, the strength of the great national unity bloc, building a "people's heart position", taking "people's peace" as the decisive factor for all victories in the cause of building and protecting the Fatherland. Focus on ensuring the highest national interests on the basis of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter, international law, equality, cooperation, and mutual benefit. Focus on prioritizing the successful and synchronous implementation of political tasks: Socio-economic development is the center; Party building is the key; cultural development is the spiritual foundation; ensuring national defense and security is essential and regular . Firmly adhere to the goal of national independence and socialism; resolutely, persistently, and proactively create opportunities, firmly protect independence, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity; maintain a peaceful and stable environment and favorable conditions for national construction and development. Closely combine the two strategic tasks of building and protecting the Fatherland . Increase appropriate investment in building all-people national defense, people's security, and people's armed forces to meet the requirements of protecting the Fatherland early and from afar; protect the country when it is not yet in danger; Absolutely do not be passive or surprised in any situation. Combine national strength with the strength of the times; proactively and actively integrate and improve the effectiveness of international cooperation.
Thanks to that, the national defense and people's security are always consolidated, strengthened and improved in effectiveness; national sovereignty, a peaceful and stable environment are always maintained; social order and safety are always guaranteed; the people's army and people's police are invested in and built to be increasingly lean, compact and strong in terms of politics, ideology, weapons and equipment according to the motto: People first, guns later; gradually advancing towards modernization, with a number of armies, branches and forces advancing straight to modernization. Complicated situations at sea and on the border are handled flexibly, effectively and appropriately. Measures to ensure political security, order and social safety are strengthened; focusing on suppressing all types of crimes; ensuring security and safety for important political events of the country. Timely fighting and refuting wrong and distorted views and ideologies of hostile forces and reactionary organizations; dialogue frankly with people of different political views. Vietnam's 2023 Global Peace Index ranked 41st out of 163 countries. Our country is rated by foreign investors and international tourists as the world's top attractive and safe destination.
Looking back on the past foreign affairs journey, we are happy and proud to see that: In nearly 40 years of renovation, our Party has inherited and promoted the national identity, origin and tradition, selectively absorbed the world's quintessence and progressive ideas of the times, developed on the theoretical foundation of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, forming a very special and unique school of foreign affairs and diplomacy, imbued with the identity of "Vietnamese bamboo" . That is, being both steadfast in principles and flexible in tactics; gentle and clever but also very resilient and decisive; flexible and creative but very brave and steadfast in the face of all difficulties and challenges, for the independence and freedom of the nation, for the happiness of the people; united and benevolent but always determined and persistent in protecting national interests. As a result, from a country under siege and embargo, our country has now expanded and deepened diplomatic relations with 193 countries, including 3 special relations , 6 comprehensive strategic partners, 12 strategic partners and 12 comprehensive partners. In particular, our country has now established comprehensive strategic partnerships or strategic partnerships with all 5 permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and expanded economic and trade relations with 230 countries and territories. Vietnam has been performing well as a friend and reliable partner of the international community; having many initiatives, proposals and proactively and actively participating effectively in the activities of ASEAN, the United Nations and many other international organizations. Foreign affairs activities took place very vibrantly and continuously and were a highlight of 2023 with many important and historic results and achievements . Senior leaders of our Party and State paid official visits to many countries, attended many major international forums, and achieved many important results. The very successful reception of General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping, US President Joe Biden, General Secretary and President of Laos Thoonglun, President of the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen and many heads of state from other countries visiting Vietnam were considered to be events of historical significance, contributing to affirming that "our country has never had the international position and prestige it has today".

The great achievements of historical significance in the cause of renovation initiated and led by our Party are the crystallization of creativity, the result of a process of persistent and continuous efforts over many terms of the entire Party, people and army; continuing to affirm that our path to socialism is correct, in accordance with objective laws, with Vietnam's reality and the development trend of the times; our Party's renovation policy is correct and creative; the Party's leadership is the leading factor deciding all victories of the Vietnamese revolution. The Party's political platform continues to be the ideological and theoretical flag that firmly guides our nation to continue to comprehensively and synchronously promote the renovation process; is the foundation for our Party to perfect the policy of building and defending the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland in the new period.
The rich and vivid practice of the Vietnamese revolution since the Party was founded has proven that the Party's correct and wise leadership is the leading factor determining all victories of the revolution, creating many miracles in Vietnam. On the other hand, through the process of leading the revolution, our Party has been tempered and increasingly matured, worthy of its role and mission of leading the revolution and the trust and expectations of the people. That practice affirms a truth: In Vietnam, there is no other political force, other than the Communist Party of Vietnam, that has enough mettle, intelligence, experience, prestige and ability to lead the country to overcome all difficulties and challenges, leading the revolutionary cause of our nation from one victory to another. And it is also in that process that our Party has accumulated and drawn many valuable lessons, forging glorious traditions that today we have the responsibility to strive to preserve and promote. It is the tradition of infinite loyalty to the interests of the nation and class, steadfast in the goal and ideal 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 guidelines; firmly grasping, applying and creatively developing Marxism-Leninism, referring to international experience to set out correct guidelines and effectively organize the implementation of revolutionary tasks. It is the tradition of blood ties between the Party and the People, always taking serving the People as the reason for living and the goal of striving. It is the tradition of solidarity, unity, organization and strict, strict discipline on the basis of the principles of democratic centralism, self-criticism, criticism and comradely love. It is the tradition of loyal, pure international solidarity based on noble principles and goals. With all the modesty of a revolutionary, we can still say: "Our Party is truly great! Our people are truly heroic! Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today."
PART THREE
FURTHER PROMOTE THE GLORIOUS PATRIOTISM AND REVOLUTIONARY TRADITION, DETERMINED TO SUCCESSFULLY REALIZE THE GOAL OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BY 2025 AND 2030, BUILDING AN INCREASINGLY RICH, CIVILIZED, CULTIVATED AND HEROIC VIETNAM
We are proud and confident to move forward under the glorious flag of the Party in the context of the world and domestic situation, besides opportunities and advantages, there will also be many difficulties and great challenges. In the world, strategic competition, economic competition, trade war continue to take place fiercely; disputes over sovereignty of seas and islands are complicated; military conflicts in some regions of the world affect geopolitics, geo-economics, energy security and global supply chains; science - technology and the Fourth Industrial Revolution are developing strongly, creating both new opportunities and challenges for all countries and peoples; Climate change, natural disasters, epidemics and traditional and non-traditional security issues are increasingly having a strong and multifaceted impact, which can seriously threaten the stability and sustainability of the world, the region and our country... Domestically, we are still facing many difficulties and major challenges: To complete the socio-economic development target set by the 13th National Party Congress, the average growth rate for the 6 years 2024 - 2030 must reach about 8%, the processing, manufacturing and service industries must develop more strongly, increasing by about 4.5 percentage points to contribute to economic growth; this is a very high level, requiring us to have high determination and great efforts to achieve. The financial and monetary markets, especially the real estate market, the stock market and corporate bonds will develop very complicatedly, with many potential risks. Liquidity of some commercial banks is weak and large enterprises and projects will face many difficulties. Bank interest rates remain high, inflationary pressure is still high. Production and business activities in some industries and fields tend to decline; the number of enterprises withdrawing from the market is increasing; many enterprises have to reduce staff, reduce working hours, and lay off workers; workers' lives face many difficulties. Disbursement of public investment capital has not met requirements. Newly registered foreign investment capital, additional registration or capital contribution, and share purchase has decreased. The growth rate of state budget revenue shows signs of decline; bad debts of banks and state tax debts tend to increase; ensuring economic security, network security, social order and safety, care and protection of people's health, etc. are still major problems with many difficulties and challenges that need to be overcome. Organizing the implementation of laws, policies, and public service is still a weak link; Discipline and order in many places are not strict, there is even a phenomenon of avoiding and shirking responsibility; whatever is beneficial is brought back to the agency, unit and individual; whatever is difficult is pushed out to society, to other agencies and other people. Meanwhile, bad, hostile and reactionary forces continue to take advantage of this situation to accelerate the implementation of the "peaceful evolution" strategy, promote "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within us to sabotage our Party, State and regime.
The above situation requires us to absolutely not be subjective, complacent, too enamored with the results and achievements that have been achieved, and not too pessimistic, wavering in the face of difficulties and challenges; on the contrary, we need to be extremely calm, clear-headed, promote the results and lessons learned, overcome the limitations and weaknesses that still exist, especially from the beginning of the 13th term until now, to continue to promote innovation, strive, take advantage of all opportunities and advantages; overcome all difficulties and challenges, successfully implement the programs, plans, goals and tasks set for the 13th term and until 2030. In particular, we need to continue to thoroughly grasp and creatively apply the lessons learned from the 13th Party Congress . That is, (1) The work of building and rectifying the Party and the political system must be carried out resolutely, comprehensively, synchronously, regularly and effectively in terms of politics, ideology, ethics, organization and cadres. Firmly, creatively apply and develop Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought; improve the leadership, governing and fighting capacity of the Party; regularly consolidate and strengthen solidarity within the Party and the political system; strictly implement the principles of Party building, regularly innovate the Party's leadership methods. Build a clean and strong State and political system in all aspects; perfect the mechanism of tightly controlling power: Resolutely and persistently fight against degradation, "self-evolution", "self-transformation" within the Party; step up the fight against corruption and negativity. Personnel work must truly be the "key of the keys", focusing on building a contingent of cadres at all levels, especially strategic-level cadres and leaders with sufficient qualities, capacity and prestige, equal to the task; promoting the responsibility of setting examples of cadres and party members according to the motto that the higher the position, the more exemplary they must be, especially Politburo members, Secretariat members, and Central Committee members. (2) In all work of the Party and State, it is necessary to always thoroughly grasp the viewpoint that "the people are the root" ; truly trust, respect and promote the people's right to mastery, persistently implement the motto "the people know, the people discuss, the people do, the people inspect, the people supervise, the people benefit" . The people are the center, the subject of the cause of innovation, building and defending the Fatherland; all guidelines and policies must truly originate from the lives, aspirations, rights and legitimate interests of the people, taking the happiness and prosperity of the people as the goal to strive for. Strengthen the close relationship between the Party and the People, rely on the People to build the Party; consolidate and strengthen the People's trust in the Party, the State, and the socialist regime. (3) In leadership, direction, administration, and implementation, there must be high determination, great efforts, drastic, dynamic, creative, and proactive actions; take appropriate steps, promote all resources, motivations, and superiority of the socialist regime; promptly remove bottlenecks and obstacles; promote the responsibility of the leader in conjunction with promoting the synchronous strength of the entire political system; promote democracy while maintaining discipline ; attach importance to summarizing practices and studying theories; effectively coordinate in leadership, management, and administration; attach importance to quality and practical effectiveness; create breakthroughs for development. (4) Focus on prioritizing the synchronous construction of development institutions, ensuring harmony between steadfastness and innovation; inheriting and developing ; between economic innovation and political, cultural and social innovation; between following market rules and ensuring socialist orientation; between economic growth and cultural and human development, solving social problems, protecting resources and the environment; between economic and social development and ensuring national defense and security; between independence and autonomy and international integration; between Party leadership, State management and people's mastery; between practicing democracy and strengthening the rule of law, ensuring social discipline... Truly respect and effectively promote the driving role of people, culture, education and training, science and technology in national development. (5) Proactively research, grasp and correctly forecast the situation, absolutely not be subjective, not be passive or surprised. Resolutely and persistently protect the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Fatherland while maintaining a peaceful, stable, secure and safe environment for national development.
