With the position and strength accumulated after nearly 40 years of renovation, Vietnam has gathered all the necessary conditions to bring the country into a new era - the era of national growth.
The ideological legacy that President Ho Chi Minh left behind has profound historical and contemporary significance. In the entirety of that massive legacy, Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style of self-reliance, self-improvement, and the aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country are the guiding principles for us to confidently step into the new era - the era of national growth.
Opportunity to bring the country into a new era
Right from the time he left to find a way to save the country, President Ho Chi Minh had a great desire: Independence for the Fatherland, freedom and happiness for the people. He affirmed: "I have only one desire, the utmost desire, which is to make our country completely independent, our people completely free, everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, everyone can study".
President Ho Chi Minh visited Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Complex Industrial Park on the occasion of the first batch of iron produced by blast furnace No. 1, January 1, 1964 (documentary photo).
His wish has now come true. And more than that, the country today has achieved remarkable achievements, its position has been increasingly enhanced in the international arena; it has set a goal of becoming a developed, high-income country by 2045, when it celebrates its 100th anniversary.
President Ho Chi Minh wished to build a prosperous country, bringing freedom, prosperity and happiness to the people. His thoughts were emphasized at the Second Party Congress (1951): Building a peaceful, unified, independent, democratic and prosperous Vietnam. He repeatedly reminded: "If the country is independent but the people do not enjoy happiness and freedom, then independence is meaningless."
He paid special attention to improving people's knowledge, serving the cause of building and developing a prosperous and strong country. Before passing away, in his Will, he expressed his last wish, which was also his ultimate aspiration: "Our entire Party and people unite to strive to build a peaceful, unified, independent, democratic and prosperous Vietnam, making a worthy contribution to the world revolutionary cause."
With the position and strength accumulated after nearly 40 years of renovation, Vietnam has gathered all the necessary conditions to bring the country into a new era - the era of national growth.
In that context, continuing to apply and creatively develop President Ho Chi Minh's innovative thinking will be an important condition for us to set out strategic and breakthrough directions, contributing to realizing the aspiration for Vietnam to develop strongly, powerfully, prosperously and happily.
The foundation of self-reliance and self-improvement
Generally speaking, the reality of the aspiration for a prosperous and happy country according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology is to build a democratic, progressive political regime that is truly for the people, and to build a civilized and progressive economic, cultural and social life with good moral values.
To do so, we must build a solid economic foundation, have an implementation plan with the consensus of the Government and the people; maximize internal strength, take advantage of external strength, have an open-door policy, and attract foreign investment. Always starting from the specific circumstances of the country, creatively applying theory to practice to put forward appropriate viewpoints and policies; not be dogmatic or mechanical in learning from the experiences of other countries.
In the context of an interdependent developing world, national and ethnic interests are the decisive factors for each nation to participate in international relations and successfully integrate into the world. In addition to economic potential, the will to be self-reliant, self-reliant, and the aspiration for development of the entire nation are the foundation and fundamental, core conditions for expanding cooperative relations and international integration.
The practice of many decades of renovation under the leadership of the Party has vividly demonstrated the will and aspiration for development of our nation. The achievements of the renovation process are an important foundation to help us strengthen our belief, determination, and efforts, and continue to promote the path of development of the nation.
New determination in new era
The message about "new era", "era of rising up" has affirmed the viewpoint and determination of the Party and State leaders, inspiring people with a new determination in the new period.
The country in historical times needs historic decisions. The implementation of strategic goals to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Party's founding and the 100th anniversary of the country's founding is a challenging but also glorious mission for our generations today and tomorrow, and is a prerequisite for the country to rise up to become a developed country.
We can absolutely do it with innovative thinking, high determination, great effort, drastic action, breakthrough solutions, effective methods, timely, flexible and effective organization and implementation. Focus on realizing the country's unique potentials, outstanding opportunities and competitive advantages.
To do so, each level, each sector, each agency, unit, enterprise, and each citizen needs to promote the spirit of solidarity, unity, consensus, daring to think, daring to do, daring to make breakthroughs for the common good.
The Resolution of the 13th Party Congress, the Resolutions and Conclusions of the Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, the National Assembly, the Government, and the direction of the Prime Minister have clearly demonstrated the tasks and solutions in all fields and need to be implemented synchronously, comprehensively and effectively by all levels, sectors and localities with the spirit of "clear people, clear work, clear responsibilities, clear deadlines and clear results".
