Our Party, ninety-three springs!

Information about the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam was quickly transmitted and spread throughout the country, exciting everyone. Many party organizations were born one after another - the revolutionary flame was multiplied and lit from here.

From February 3 to 7, 1930, in Kowloon (Hong Kong, China), under the chairmanship of comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc, the Conference merged three Communist organizations in Vietnam, namely the Indochina Communist Party, the Annam Communist Party, and the Indochina Communist Federation, into a single party, the Communist Party of Vietnam.

From that fire, our Party was formed.revolutionary pathnew, building a new generation of party members and fanning the strong patriotic spirit among the people. And, when there was enough spirit and strength, the opportunity was ripe, under the leadership of the Party, our people in all three regions rose up in a General Uprising, making the August Revolution a success. The French fled, the Japanese surrendered, King Bao Dai abdicated - The country declared independence, the people were free - The joy of all the people of Vietnam was indescribable!

Thirty years later, the country was immersed in the invasion of French colonialism, then American imperialism. Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom - that truth never changes. With the chosen path, with wisdom, ingenuity and iron determination, our Party led the Army and People to achieve the Dien Bien Phu Victory - famous in five continents, shaking the earth; then "fought to drive the Americans out, fought to overthrow the puppets" - liberated the South, unified the country, united the country - What greater joy!

The country had just enjoyed joy for a short time when it had to face many difficulties and challenges that seemed impossible to overcome. Once again, with the Vietnamese spirit and the steadfastness of the path of Socialism that the Party and Uncle Ho had chosen, our Party proposed the path of renovation at the 6th Congress (December 1986) and led the Vietnamese revolution to overcome the most difficult time and is steadily moving forward on that path. Then, "our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today" - How proud!

But also on that journey, there are times when we cannot help but feel sad when the Party makes wrong steps; many people cannot help but lose faith when there are worms in the Party that tarnish and damage the Party's role and position. Seeing the wrong, the Party quickly finds ways to fix it; finding the bad guys, the Party has been determined and persistently fighting, eliminating worms to clean up the Party and regain the trust of the People. What should be done must be done, because the interests of the Nation and the People are above all, first and foremost. That is the nature andthe mettle of our Partyhas been tempered for the past 93 years - Well, that's something to be happy about!

The past ninety-three years - The Party's history is a golden history, worthy for each of us to cherish, be proud of, always keep faith and join hands to write a new history. And, it is also shameful for those who have obscured or do not know, do not care or turn their backs, deliberately forget that history.

Congratulations to our Party on its ninety-third Spring and hope that the country will always be full of Spring energy thanks to the Party - STRONG PARTY, DEVELOPING COUNTRY, ETERNAL NATION!
