It is also the time to celebrate the 94th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 - February 3, 2024).

As the head of our Party, with his outstanding intelligence and vision, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong wrote an article: “Proud and confident under the glorious flag of the Party, determined to build an increasingly rich, civilized, cultured and heroic Vietnam”. Immediately after being published in the mass media, the article received the consensus, support and high appreciation of the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people as well as international friends.
Party leadership - the leading factor determining all victories
This is a particularly important conclusion of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong based on the 94 years of building, fighting and growing of the Communist Party of Vietnam, a solid scientific basis to refute the false arguments of hostile forces that aim to downplay the leadership role as well as deny the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam over the State and society. As a well-trained person, always thoroughly grasping and mastering Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought, having held many different positions at both the central and local levels, especially many years in charge of the Party's theoretical work, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has made a profound and comprehensive conclusion, affirming and correctly assessing the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the article commemorating the 94th anniversary of the Party's founding.
Before our Party was born, although there were many ways to save the country by scholars, peasant uprisings, and bourgeois revolutions...; although they fought very steadfastly, with great enthusiasm, and endured great sacrifices, due to historical limitations, especially the lack of a correct revolutionary line, those movements were not successful. Since our Party was born, with the correct leadership, the Vietnamese revolution has achieved many successes, especially in the process of fighting for power; fighting for national liberation.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong summarized: Looking back on the 1930-1975 period, we are extremely proud, confident and deeply grateful to the glorious Party and great Uncle Ho who have always wisely led the Vietnamese revolution from one resounding victory to another, continuing to write brilliant golden pages in the history of the civilized and heroic Vietnamese nation, admired and highly appreciated by the world: Successfully carrying out the "earth-shaking" August Revolution, seizing power for the people, bringing our country out of the yoke of colonialism and imperialism in 1945; The long-term resistance war against the invading French colonialists, ending with the Geneva Agreement and the victory of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign that resounded throughout the five continents and shook the world; While building socialism and fighting against the destructive war of American imperialism in the North, we also fought against the US to save the country, liberate the South, and unify the country, ending with the victory of the "Dien Bien Phu in the Air Campaign" and the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign.
The generalization of the achievements of the revolutionary cause since the establishment of the Party until 1975 by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong demonstrates sharp theoretical thinking, a comprehensive summary of the achievements of historical significance of the Vietnamese people in the 20th century. With that generalization, along with the process of theoretical research and practical summary, the General Secretary is also a historical witness, having witnessed many glorious moments of the nation's history in the 20th century and having enough time to summarize the results of the Vietnamese revolution achieved under the leadership of the Party. Those are also the major, core contents of the article "Proud and confident under the glorious flag of the Party, determined to build an increasingly rich, civilized, cultured and heroic Vietnam".
In the second part of the article, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong summarized the Party's leadership in overcoming the consequences of war; carrying out the renovation and international integration process; and building our country to be more and more dignified and beautiful.
The General Secretary pointed out: In response to the new requirements of the cause of national construction and defense in a country at peace, to overcome the shortcomings of the centralized bureaucratic and subsidized planning mechanism, leading to the socio-economic crisis in the post-war years, on the basis of summarizing the people's initiatives and creativity in practice, our Party has carried out the renovation process. According to the General Secretary, the renovation policy was born to meet the requirements of historical practice, demonstrating the steadfastness and creative thinking of the Communist Party of Vietnam and opening a new era for the country's development. This assertion of the General Secretary has been proven and tested in practice, and highly appreciated by the international community. Because, after nearly 40 years of renovation, we have achieved many achievements of historical significance: Socio-economic development; national defense and security have been maintained; Party building and rectification work has been strengthened; Vietnam's position and prestige are increasingly enhanced in the international arena.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong affirmed: The renovation process has truly brought about great and very good changes to the country in the past nearly 40 years, contributing to making "Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today". In general, those who have lived and experienced the years before the Renovation and the achievements of nearly 40 years of Renovation will fully see the conclusions of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. That further demonstrates the leadership role of the Party, the correct and creative Renovation policy that is suitable to the reality of the Communist Party of Vietnam. It is even more meaningful because in the early years of the Renovation process, the collapse of the Eastern European socialist countries and the Soviet Union had a strong impact on the Renovation process in Vietnam, but our Party still firmly steered the Vietnamese revolutionary boat through rapids, reaching the shore of glory with rich and vivid practical results, making our people's lives increasingly prosperous and happy!
Summarizing the 94 years of establishment, construction, fighting and growth of the Communist Party of Vietnam, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized: The rich and vivid practice of the Vietnamese revolution since the Party's establishment has proven that the correct and wise leadership of the Party is the leading factor determining all victories of the revolution, creating many miracles in Vietnam. On the other hand, through the process of leading the revolution, our Party has been tempered and increasingly matured, worthy of its role and mission of leading the revolution and the trust and expectations of the people. That practice affirms a truth: In Vietnam, there is no other political force, other than the Communist Party of Vietnam, that has enough mettle, intelligence, experience, prestige and ability to lead the country to overcome all difficulties and challenges, leading the revolutionary cause of our nation from one victory to another.
This summary demonstrates the intellectual height of our Party leader; it is a great source of encouragement for the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people in the cause of innovation, industrialization, modernization and international integration. We are proud to have the great President Ho Chi Minh, the glorious Communist Party of Vietnam, the heroic Party of the heroic Vietnamese nation. More than ever, keeping faith in the Party is the only right choice for all Vietnamese people, the Vietnamese people and the Vietnamese nation. That is also the important message and direction of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in his article commemorating the 94th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Firmly step towards socialism
In the third part of the article titled “Further promoting the glorious tradition of patriotism and revolution, determined to successfully achieve the country's development goals by 2025 and 2030, building an increasingly rich, civilized, cultured and heroic Vietnam”, the General Secretary clearly stated the international, regional and domestic situation, besides pointing out the advantages, he also pointed out the difficulties and challenges that Vietnam must face; at the same time, he emphasized: We absolutely must not be subjective, complacent, too intoxicated with the results and achievements that have been achieved, and also not be too pessimistic, wavering in the face of difficulties and challenges; on the contrary, we need to be extremely calm, clear-headed, promote the results and lessons learned, overcome the limitations and weaknesses that still exist, especially from the beginning of the 13th term until now, to continue to promote innovation, strive, and take advantage of every opportunity and advantage; Overcoming all difficulties and challenges, successfully implementing the programs, plans, goals and tasks set for the 13th term and until 2030. The General Secretary's reminder is extremely necessary, because we must never "rest on our laurels". Although the results achieved are great and comprehensive, there are still many difficulties and challenges, especially the sabotage of hostile forces against the Communist Party of Vietnam.
After requesting the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people to continue to thoroughly grasp and apply a number of lessons learned on innovation in leadership methods and working styles and procedures drawn from the 13th Mid-Term Central Conference, the General Secretary requested that priority be given to the effective implementation of key tasks on economic development; cultural and social development; national defense, security and foreign affairs; Party and political system building; and finally, preparations for Party congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Congress of the Party. The General Secretary's directions are both a requirement and a great responsibility of the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people before the history of the nation. If we can do well with those instructions under the leadership of the Party, we will certainly build an increasingly prosperous, civilized, cultured and heroic Vietnam in the direction of socialism.

In conclusion, in the joy and excitement of the entire nation welcoming the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin in 2024, welcoming the 94th anniversary of our Party, the article by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a great source of encouragement and motivation for the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people to continue to overcome difficulties, strive to fulfill the goals and plans set for 2024 and towards the successful completion of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress. The intellectual height of the head of our Party in the article not only contributes to summarizing more than 90 years of our Party's establishment, construction, fighting and growth, but also adds to the Party's theoretical treasure on the issues that Vietnam's revolution has experienced as well as the orientations that our nation is aiming for.
With all confidence as well as as a Party member, thoroughly grasping and implementing the issues raised by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in the article is both a task and a way to strengthen absolute trust in the Party's leadership that: Under the Party's leadership, the Vietnamese people will certainly be strong, prosperous, civilized, happy, steadily moving towards socialism and standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers as Uncle Ho always wished during his lifetime!
