The WORLD is constantly moving in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Our country is facing great opportunities to rise up, but also many challenges. In that context, the Party's ideological foundation - Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought - is the beacon that guides the way, the compass for all actions, helping us to be steadfast in our goals and move forward steadily.

The banking sector, as the “bloodline” of the economy, is at the forefront of innovation and integration, especially in the process of national digital transformation. This is not only a technological revolution but also an important field in protecting and promoting the Party’s ideological foundation. Hostile and reactionary forces always seek to exploit cyberspace, using distorted arguments and sophisticated tricks to shake trust and hinder our development path.
