At a ceremony in Hanoi, General Secretary of the CPV Central Committee and President Nguyen Phu Trong stated that the CPV is the only political organization in Vietnam with the quality, brainpower, experience, prestige and capacity to lead the country to overcome all difficulties and challenges, and drive the national revolutionary cause from one victory to the next.
Those in attendance included Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, and many other incumbent and former leaders of the Party, State and Vietnam Fatherland Front, and veteran revolutionaries.
President Nguyen looked back over the process of the establishment, training, devotion and development of the CPV and highlighted the historical significance of its founding on February 3, 1930.
"The Vietnamese revolution's diverse and vivid reality over the past 90 years has demonstrated that the Party's sound and clear-sighted leadership is a leading decisive factor to ensure all revolutionary victories and make many exploits in Vietnam," he said.
Mentioning Vietnam's achievements during nearly 35 years of reform, President Nguyen said Vietnam has emerged as a developing country whose people have reached middle-income status. Its politics and society have been stabilized; national defence-security, independence and sovereignty have been firmly maintained, and its position and prestige in the international arena have been enhanced.
The country has to date joined most international organizations and become an active and responsible member of the international community, he stressed, noting that Vietnam was recently elected for the second time as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in a landslide vote.
On the front
of party-building, President Nguyen emphasized the need to carry
forward Vietnam's
beautiful traditions, while maintaining and building on the Party's
revolutionary nature and its pioneering role. He said that the Party
must be principled and strong when it comes to its politics, ideology,
morality, apparatus and personnel. It must revamp its leadership
methods, strengthen the close-knit relations between the Party and
people, prevent and counteract degradation, and enhance the Party's
ability to lead and fight the battles to come.
President Nguyen also pointed out major
tasks in 2020 -- the
final year of the 12th National Party Congress -- such as completing
all socio-economic development targets, reinforcing macro-economic
stability, accelerating the implementation of strategic breakthroughs,
restructuring the national economy in tandem with reforming the growth
model, ensuring social security and welfare and improving people's
living standards.
He also called for greater efforts to firmly maintain national independence and sovereignty, as well as a peaceful and stable environment to serve national development and promote external relations.
He said, attention must be paid to the successful organization of Party congresses at all levels, in working towards the 13th National Party Congress, as well as to the implementation of resolutions on party-building adopted at the fourth plenums of the 11th and 12th Party Central Committees, and the Politburo's Directive No. 5 on promoting the study and implementation of President Ho Chi Minh's theory and practice, to strengthen party-building and rectification work.
The CPV received congratulations from political leaders and parties from around the world.
