Our Party - the revolutionary party of the Vietnamese people

Our Party is the Communist Party of Vietnam - the genuine revolutionary Party of the working class and the Vietnamese people, founded on February 3, 1930. The birth of our Party, withrevolutionary pathThe only correct one: National independence is linked with socialism, the national liberation work is placed in the orbit of the world proletarian revolution, has ended the deep crisis on the path to national salvation, opened the correct path to regain national independence, freedom and happiness for the people.

The history of the nation and the entire Vietnamese people have entrusted the entire mission of leading the national liberation cause to the working class and the Communist Party of Vietnam.

The history of the Vietnamese people over the past 91 years, since the founding of the Party, has affirmed: The trust of the entire Vietnamese people in fully entrusting the leadership role of the liberation cause to our Party is very correct and necessary, a historical necessity of thousands of years of building and defending the country, so that the country can confidently enter modern history.

Our Party - the Communist Party of Vietnam is truly the "offspring"(*) of the working class and the Vietnamese people, completely worthy of the trust of the entire nation, worthy of the responsibility entrusted by history and the nation.

With the heroic Vietnamese people - and the new era, there is the Party -Communist Party of VietnamWith the Party's leadership, our country and people have the foundation, position and prestige they have today, to be more confident, more steadfast, and more excited to enter the new period of development opened by the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party.

Our Party - the Communist Party of Vietnam is a genuine revolutionary Party.“Because apart from the interests of the class, the people, and the nation, our Party has no other interests”(*). “Our Party is a true revolutionary Party because our Party is ethical and civilized”(*).The Party dares to admit and knows how to correct and overcome mistakes and shortcomings.

Our Party - the Communist Party of Vietnam lives in the hearts of the people and the nation to unite and lead the entire people.

For all the above reasons, our entire nation has wholeheartedly protected the Party, wholeheartedly placed its trust in the Party in both victory and defeat. That trust has remained intact for the past 91 years and continues to be strengthened, just as the folk song says: “No matter what anyone says, our hearts remain as steadfast as a tripod.”

Fifteen years after its founding, our Party led the entire people in a general uprising to seize power for the People. The August Revolution of 1945 successfully established the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam). From then on, along with its role as a revolutionary leader, our nation and people increasingly trusted the Party with its ruling position. From then on, our Party was both the leading Party and the ruling Party.

However, the colonial and imperialist forces, with their ambition to dominate the world, relied on their economic and military strength to wage two wars of aggression. The history of the country has given our Party the responsibility of leadership and the responsibility of ruling to protect the people's government, to protect the independence and freedom that our people have sacrificed so much blood to gain.

With the spirit of "rather sacrifice everything than lose the country, never become slaves", "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom", our entire nation rose up together, under the leadership of the Party, defeated two great empires.

An independent, unified country moving towards socialism, 15 years of struggle to have power, and 30 years of struggle to maintain a government of the people, by the people and for the people, our Party has affirmed: The Party knows how to hold power to maintain power. The Party's leadership capacity and fighting strength have been enhanced, reflected in its mettle and capacity to govern.

Having independence, freedom, and a government are prerequisites for building and defending the Fatherland, for establishing a new regime, and for bringing happiness to all the people. The history of the country and the people once again trusts the Party with a new responsibility: to overcome poverty and backwardness.

In his speech at the 30th Anniversary of the Party's founding (1960), President Ho Chi Minh said: ""To defeat imperialism and feudalism is relatively easy, to defeat poverty and backwardness is much more difficult"(*).In the will left to the entire Party and the entire people, in the "must write more" section (May 1968), President Ho Chi Minh wrote:“It is an extremely huge, complex and difficult task”(**). “This is a fight against what is old and corrupt, to create something new and fresh. To win this huge fight, it is necessary to mobilize the entire people, organize education for the entire people, and rely on the great strength of the entire people(**).The person emphasized:“In my opinion, the first thing that needs to be done is to rectify the Party”(**).

In a situation of being surrounded, embargoed, forced to continue two wars on the southwestern and northern borders, falling into a socio-economic crisis, in response to the trust of the entire nation, to carry out the instructions of President Ho Chi Minh, our Party made a historic decision at the 6th National Congress: RENEWAL.

"Innovation" to meet the urgent demands and ardent desires of the country, the people, and the nation while keeping up with the trends of the times.

Initiating the renovation process, our Party led the entire people, relied on the great strength of the People, combined national strength with the strength of the times to bring our country through the socio-economic crisis; successfully broke the siege and embargo; and integrated more and more deeply into the international community. Since then, our country has transformed from a poor, underdeveloped country into a developing one. The achievements after 35 years of renovation have been recognized by national history and the international community. The country's foundation, career, potential and position have turned a new page. This is the driving force for the entire Party, people and army to enter a new period of development, towards the goal of overcoming poverty and backwardness by 2045 as outlined in the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.

35 years of renovation are also 35 years of our Party constantly correcting itself, fighting against what is old and corrupt, to create new and fresh things as Uncle Ho instructed. And thanks to that, our Party continues to be worthy of being the leader and at the same time a loyal servant of the People.

Our Party - the Communist Party of Vietnam, founded, educated and trained by President Ho Chi Minh, has deserved and continues to deserve to assume the leadership role in the entire glorious revolutionary cause of the heroic Vietnamese people, of the Vietnamese Fatherland with its thousand years of civilization.
