Strong innovation, building long-term development strategy
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong warmly congratulated and commended the great contributions and dedication of generations of cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics through the ages.
Through 70 years of striving to build, grow, and comply with the leadership and direction of the Party, directly the Politburo and the Secretariat, the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics has affirmed its position and role as a national center for training and fostering leaders, managers, and political theory scientists of the Party and State; a national center for scientific research on Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought, political science, leadership and management science; a driving force and model for the system of political schools nationwide, making an important contribution to ideological work, theory, political education, Party history, Party building, and revolutionary ethics in the Party and society.
The Academy has affirmed its role as the cradle of training cadres for the great revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation; always steadfast in political mettle, steadfast in Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh thought, steadfast in the goal of national independence and socialism, steadfast in the Party's renewal policy.
The Academy continuously promotes the spirit of creativity and innovation in teaching and scientific research, the spirit of overcoming all difficulties, hardships and challenges for development.

In addition to the achievements, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong noted that the Academy needs to frankly acknowledge its limitations and shortcomings and promptly find solutions to overcome them.
Although there have been many efforts to innovate the content of the program and teaching methods, it is still only the first step, still slow compared to practical requirements. In the content and methods of training and fostering, there is not yet a smooth combination between learning to improve knowledge, leadership and management skills and training in revolutionary ethics.
Scientific research activities have not had many major works to contribute to the Party's theoretical research and practical summary. The effectiveness of international cooperation in teaching and scientific research is still limited.
The team of prestigious teachers, scientists, and leading experts is still small and not up to the task of the Central Party School. There are still gaps in generations of cadres.
The technical facilities are still lacking and not yet synchronized, especially in regional academies, not meeting modern training requirements, and the information technology infrastructure is not yet connected to the system of political schools nationwide.
The General Secretary and President emphasized: To meet the country's new development requirements, especially the requirement of building a team of cadres with sufficient qualities, capacity and prestige, equal to the tasks, the Academy needs to base on its functions and tasks, build a long-term development strategy, promote the achievements, overcome limitations and difficulties, determine the mission, vision, viewpoints, goals, core values and development orientations of the Academy in the coming decades.
The General Secretary and President stated: The Academy is a Party school with the top priority mission of training and fostering leaders and managers for the Party and the entire political system who are truly diligent, frugal, honest, impartial, equal to their tasks, absolutely loyal to the Party's ideals, to the revolutionary cause, wholeheartedly serving the Fatherland and the people.
At the same time, the Academy needs to focus on studying and mastering Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought, protecting, consolidating and developing the Party's ideological foundation, clarifying issues on socialism and the path to socialism in Vietnam; fighting to criticize and refute wrong views and distorted arguments of hostile forces; contributing to protecting the Party, the State, the people and the socialist regime.
On this occasion, the General Secretary and President assigned tasks to the school’s staff, lecturers and students. First of all, the Academy needs to be determined to further innovate the work of training and fostering staff; resolutely overcome the situation of being afraid to study, lazy to study political theory, studying to cope, studying mainly to get degrees in the Party and society.
The Academy needs to clearly identify training subjects, avoid chasing quantity; diversify training programs, suitable for different groups of students; continue to focus on improving the quality of training programs, updating knowledge for leadership and management positions in a practical direction, both equipping vision, strategic thinking, working methods, and linking with handling situations arising in practice of localities, agencies, units and the country.
Over the years, the Academy has effectively coordinated with relevant agencies to organize training courses to update knowledge for Party Central Committee members; training courses for strategic cadres, as well as knowledge updating courses for leaders and managers of localities, agencies and units. These are extremely important tasks that need to be continued to be done well in the coming time.
Fulfilling the role of the leading national center for training and fostering cadres for Party building work
The General Secretary and President stated: "In the work of training and fostering cadres, comrades need to pay special attention to education, improving political qualities, ideological stance, revolutionary ethics and training standard working style for the team of students... to fulfill well the role of the leading national center for training and fostering cadres working in Party building, political theory lecturers for political schools, cadre schools and universities nationwide".
The General Secretary and President noted: The Academy needs to invest more effort and resources in scientific research, proactively transfer research results to serve teaching, propaganda, political education and policy consulting... The Academy's team of scientists needs to focus on summarizing practices and generalizing, raising the theoretical level, contributing to the training and fostering of cadres, consolidating and firmly protecting the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against hostile viewpoints and false arguments.
Currently, the Central Committee is developing draft documents to be submitted to the 13th National Party Congress with the hope of absorbing the opinions and wisdom of the entire Party and people, especially scientists. The General Secretary and President hopes that with a large, talented, dedicated and responsible team of teachers and scientists, the Academy will actively and effectively contribute to the preparation of the content of these extremely important documents.
The General Secretary and President emphasized: "It is necessary to pay attention to building and comprehensively developing the Academy. The first thing is still the work of cadres. It is necessary to focus on building a team of talented lecturers, scientists, and managers with strong political stance, pure moral qualities, basic and in-depth training in theory, pedagogical methods and practical understanding...
In particular, the Academy must be exemplary in taking care of Party building work, making the Academy Party Committee truly an exemplary, united, clean, strong one, with high leadership capacity and fighting spirit. The Academy must take the lead in fighting against degradation in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party..."

The Academy must strive to become a modern, unique and integrated school, focusing on expanding and improving the quality and effectiveness of international cooperation to selectively absorb the world's achievements and experiences in training and fostering high-level human resources and in scientific research, especially political science, leadership science and advanced management.
The General Secretary and President urged the students, who are honored to study at the Party's highest school, to be more deeply aware of their responsibilities and tasks, to constantly strive to improve their qualifications and working capacity, to train their political qualities, and to cultivate revolutionary ideals.
Each student needs to study seriously, with passion and high responsibility; implement well the motto of linking theory with practice, learning goes hand in hand with practice; enhance the process of self-study and self-research; actively practice thinking, methodology and approach to solve practical problems.
