President Ho Chi Minh once said:“With all the modesty of a revolutionary, we still have the right to say: Our Party is truly great!” “Our Party is great because apart from the interests of the class, the people, and the nation, our Party has no other interests”;because"As long as there is one Vietnamese person being exploited or poor, the Party will still feel pain, thinking it is because it has not fulfilled its duty";because“Since its inception, our Party has raised high the revolutionary flag, united and led all our people to fight for national liberation and class liberation. “The Party's red flag is as bright as the rising sun, tearing apart the dark night, illuminating the way for our people to firmly step forward on the path to victory…”(1).

In the context of many instabilities in the world and the region, especially the dangerous impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, under the leadership of the Party, our country still maintains a peaceful atmosphere, stable politics and society, continuous economic growth, constantly expanding foreign cooperation relations, and increasingly high international prestige. Obviously, this is the great wish of the people of many countries in the world and a lucky opportunity for the Vietnamese people.
Although there are still some issues that make us worried and anxious, such as the degradation and degeneration of a number of cadres and party members; corruption and negativity have not been completely eliminated, but if we have a strategic and dialectical vision in the historical and contemporary dimensions, we cannot help but be proud of the achievements of the country under the leadership of the Party. Somewhere, if there is this or that problem that makes the People worried, it is only a personal problem of a number of party members, and is not at all part of the nature of our Party. Therefore, it is impossible to equate the negative and corrupt phenomena of some Party members with the nature of the Party. To objectively evaluate the role and achievements of the Party, it is necessary to look at the whole process and look at the examples of Party members who have sacrificed their whole lives for the country, such as comrades Tran Phu, Ha Huy Tap, Nguyen Van Cu, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Le Hong Phong, Hoang Van Thu, Vo Nguyen Giap, Hoang Binh..., currently General Secretary, President Nguyen Phu Trong and many other cadres and Party members.
Welcoming the 13th Congress on the occasion of the Party's 91st birthday and welcoming the New Year of the Ox - 2021, we pray for national peace and prosperity. These three major events take place at a very special time when Vietnam is the place where the whole world wishes and desires for a peaceful life and the preservation of lives. While the whole world, including the richest and most powerful countries, are struggling to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing, but the number of deaths from Covid has not decreased, even increased dramatically, in Vietnam there is an effective way to control Covid, maintaining a peaceful life for the people. That is practical evidence not only forPeople have more trust in the Partybut also a practical argument against the rhetoric demanding political pluralism, multi-party opposition and depoliticization of the armed forces, distorting the socialist regime and denying the achievements of the Vietnamese revolution.

Enjoying a peaceful, independent and free life, we must be grateful to those who sacrificed, created and resolutely defended the Fatherland in all circumstances. Each cadre, party member and Vietnamese citizen realizes more clearly their responsibility, vows to follow the Party; strives to join hands and hearts to build our Party to be truly clean and strong; makes our country more prosperous and beautiful, our people more prosperous and happy. That is also to carry out Uncle Ho's teachings:“Every party member must protect the Party and all of the Party's policies and guidelines.”make the Party always"is a large group, with unified thoughts and unified actions"(2), always"deserving of being a heroic Party of a heroic nation"(3).
