This year, our Party turns 95. Many cadres, party members and people expressed their pride in the great achievements led by the Party throughout the revolutionary struggle, leading the country to independence, freedom, peace, innovation and development; at the same time, they were concerned and sent their thoughts so that the Party could continue to shoulder its role and mission of leadership and governance, leading the country into a new era, an era of national growth.
I am 84 years old this year, 62 years old, the Party has always placed steadfast faith in the revolutionary cause led by the Party. Thanks to the Party's leadership and the people's support, the country has independence, freedom, peace, innovation and development as it is today. This is undeniable, although there are aspects that are not really satisfactory; in the "ranks" of the Party, there are cadres, party members, including high-ranking cadres who do not cultivate and practice the political qualities and revolutionary ethics of "communists", leading to degradation in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, being disciplined and imprisoned. This is the Party's pain, but that does not mean "exaggerating" the shortcomings of the Party and the State; denying the leadership role of the Party as well as the truly great revolutionary achievements led by the Party over the past 95 years.
We need to see the Party as a “living organism”; besides its positive aspects, there are also shortcomings and limitations. The Party building and rectification movement that the Party has initiated and persistently implemented in recent times is inevitable, in line with objective trends and laws, aiming to promote the good and right aspects, overcome and correct shortcomings to make our Party stronger. Along with the Party building and rectification movement, the policies and guidelines initiated and led by the Party have created many recent movements that continue to create people's trust in the Party.
To continue to strengthen the people's trust in the Party, to continue to shoulder the role and "mission" of leadership and governance of the Party, the Party needs to continue to take care of building a contingent of cadres and party members with intelligence, capacity, new thinking, daring to think, daring to speak, daring to do, daring to take responsibility, steadfast in political ideology, healthy in ethics and lifestyle, ready to serve the Fatherland and the people. Only then can cadres and party members assume the role of pioneers and role models, making the people believe and follow.
Along with building a strong contingent of cadres and party members, the Party also needs to resolutely and persistently correct and overcome the shortcomings and weaknesses of the Party with a truly courageous spirit, must accept losses, avoid "half-fat, half-lean", the efficiency will not be high and the people's trust will also decrease. However, the Party needs to build a roadmap, cautious steps, because our Party's activities must go through the steps of propaganda, organization, training and action. Propaganda to create unity in awareness, from propaganda to organize forces, to training, coaching to improve capacity, qualifications and action is the last: the Party must "match words with actions"; words and actions must follow the Party's policies, guidelines and resolutions; from there, create motivation, awaken potential, and bring the country into a new era.

As a cadre who has worked in many positions, from a cadre working in the Youth Union, to cultural work, propaganda work at the district level and rotating to the grassroots to undertake state management work, then Party work; I myself have had access to and directly implemented the correct viewpoints, policies and guidelines of the Party and State into life, contributing to making my homeland and country increasingly developed, and the people increasingly prosperous and happy.
In practice of leadership and direction at the grassroots level, I see that the Party's guidelines and policies on agricultural, rural and farmer development have been concretized and implemented by the Government through the National Target Program on New Rural Development, the National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas; it can be said that this is a new step forward in thinking, awareness as well as drastic and determined actions of the Party to create the best conditions, especially to raise awareness and actions of people in rural areas in general and rural areas in ethnic minorities and mountainous areas in particular, helping people change backward customs and practices, change farming methods, access markets as well as exploit the potentials and advantages of each region, area, and locality; contributing to the development of rural areas, ethnic minorities and mountainous areas.
In addition, strengthening the cadres at the grassroots level, from the Central to the province, from the province to the district, and from the district to the commune is a very correct policy of the Party, especially at the grassroots level; creating a combination between cadres who are close to the grassroots, rich in practical and combat experience, and cadres with strategic vision, comprehensive thinking and skills to apply and concretize the Party's viewpoints, guidelines and policies into life; thereby, contributing to bringing the Party's policies and resolutions to the people more fully, promptly and effectively.
Currently, the country and homeland are entering a new era of development, an era of national development. To realize the aspiration of national development in the new era, the human factor plays an extremely important role, first of all the cadres in the apparatus, because "cadres are the root of all work", "all successes or failures are due to good or bad cadres". From the perspective of grassroots cadres, I hope that, in conjunction with preparing personnel for the term of Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress, our Party will select the right cadres and place them in the right positions to both promote the dedication of cadres and benefit the organization; at the same time, eliminate and remove incompetent cadres from the apparatus. Along with that, the Party needs to strengthen and improve the mass mobilization skills of cadres, so that people understand the era of national development, thereby clearly identifying what needs to be done to develop. Only by doing these things can we realize the nation's aspirations for self-improvement.

The glorious revolutionary cause of the Party has been affirmed through many brilliant milestones throughout 95 years of history; the people love and trust it and call it "Our Party".
In response to practical requirements, in recent times, our Party has focused on innovating its leadership methods with a series of tasks being implemented, creating many positive movements, consolidating the Party's role and prestige in social life and in the hearts of the people. In particular, the work of preventing and combating corruption and rectifying, preventing and repelling the degradation of political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party has contributed to improving the Party's leadership capacity and fighting strength; at the same time, creating changes in the working style of cadres at all levels to be closer to the people, understand the people, be more concerned and responsible for the people's lives.
Currently, the Party is continuing to implement many new policies and strategies; including the policy of breakthrough in science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation and the revolution of streamlining the apparatus, building a team of cadres at all levels equal to the tasks; along with the fight against corruption and waste that continues to be vigorously implemented... I believe that from the correct viewpoints, orientations and strategies of the Party and the consensus and response of cadres, party members and people, there will be a resonance, bringing the homeland and the country to a higher level of development, contributing to affirming the strength of the Party in the new era, the era of national growth.
As a Party member, I am always proud to be in the Party's ranks and assigned by the Party to participate in the work in the hamlet, so I have always strived to contribute, complete the Party's tasks, and contribute to building people's trust in the Party. Trusting in the Party, I vow to continue to strive to contribute to the Party's cause.
