Kinhtedothi - Over the past 95 years (February 3, 1930 - February 3, 2025), under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the country has gone through important stages in the development process, creating milestones in the history of the nation.
95 years ago, from January 6 to February 7, 1930, in the Kowloon Peninsula of Hong Kong (China), comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc, on behalf of the Communist International, chaired the conference to unify three communist organizations: the Indochinese Communist Party, the Annam Communist Party and the Indochinese Communist Federation, to establish the Communist Party of Vietnam. The conference approved documents including: Brief Platform, Brief Strategy, Brief Program, Brief Charter of the Party and the Appeal of comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc on behalf of the Communist International and the Communist Party of Vietnam to workers, farmers, soldiers, youth, students and all oppressed and exploited compatriots on the occasion of the Party's founding. In which, the Brief Platform of the Party and the Brief Strategy of the Party reflected the content of the first four political platforms of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The conference to unify communist organizations was as meaningful as the Party's founding congress.
The founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam was an extremely important turning point in the history of the Vietnamese revolution, deciding the development of the nation, ending the crisis in the leadership and organization of the Vietnamese patriotic movement in the early 20th century. It was the result of the mobilization, development and unification of the revolutionary movement throughout the country; the meticulous preparation in all aspects of Leader Nguyen Ai Quoc and the unanimity of the pioneers for the benefit of the class and the nation; the result of the combination of Marxism-Leninism with the workers' movement and the Vietnamese patriotic movement.
At the 3rd National Congress of the Party (September 1960), it was decided to take February 3 of the solar calendar each year as the Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Over the past 95 years, under the leadership of the Party, the country has gone through important historical stages in the development process, creating milestones in the history of the nation. The Vietnamese people have created miracles, experiencing the era of fighting for national independence, building socialism (1930 - 1975); the era of national unification and innovation (1975 - 2025). And now, we are entering the era of national growth, starting with a major event - the 14th National Party Congress.
Party leadership in the struggle for power (1930 - 1945)
After its establishment, the Party led the people to fight for national liberation and seize power with three revolutionary high tides of great significance leading to the victory of the August Revolution in 1945. These were: the revolutionary high tide of 1930 - 1931, the peak of which was the Soviet - Nghe Tinh movement; the revolutionary high tide demanding people's livelihood and democracy (1936 - 1939); the revolutionary high tide of national liberation (1939 - 1945). Under the wise and resolute leadership of the Party, headed by Leader Nguyen Ai Quoc, together with the enthusiastic solidarity, tenacious fighting and great sacrifice of countless communist party members, soldiers and patriotic compatriots, the victory ended with the August Revolution in 1945. The victory of the August Revolution in 1945 gave birth to the first people's democratic state in Southeast Asia. The victory of the August Revolution brought the Vietnamese nation into a new era - the era of national independence associated with socialism; our people, from being slaves, became masters of the country and their own destiny; firmly consolidating the leadership position of the Vietnamese revolution of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
The Party led the people to victory in the resistance war against French colonialism (1945-1954).
After being overthrown from the rule of the whole Indochina, the French colonialists, with the protection of the British army, plotted to invade our country again. On September 23, 1945, the French colonialists occupied Saigon, starting the second invasion of Vietnam. Our people, under the leadership of the Party, rose up again to fight against the French colonialists. After 9 years of protracted resistance, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, we achieved great victories, maintained the young people's government, drove out the French colonialists, and restored peace in the North. The historic victory of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, "resounding throughout the five continents and shaking the world", is a strong testament to the Party's brilliant and wise leadership.
The Party led the People to successfully carry out the resistance war against the US, save the country and build socialism in the North (1954 - 1975)
After the Geneva Agreement was signed, the North was completely liberated, our people began to build, restore the economy and culture, and build socialism. Meanwhile, in the South, the US imperialists sabotaged the Geneva Agreement, ousted the French colonialists, and turned the South into their new-style colony and military base. The task of our Party in this period was extremely heavy, which was to lead the Vietnamese revolution to simultaneously carry out two strategic tasks: the People's national democratic revolution in the South and the socialist revolution in the North. The greatest achievement in the cause of building socialism in the North was that we established a political and social foundation of the socialist regime, initially building a new economy, contributing to solid support for the revolution in the South. The great victory in the people's national democratic revolution was the Great Spring Victory of 1975, with the historic victory of April 30, completely liberating the South, unifying the country, marking another brilliant milestone in the history of the nation and the history of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Carrying out socialist revolution throughout the country (from 1975 to 1986)
After the war to liberate the South and unify the country, our country faced numerous difficulties. The Party led the people to both restore the economy and conduct two wars against invasions at the northern and southwestern borders, protecting the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. At the same time, it focused on leading the construction of the material foundations of socialism, gradually forming a new economic structure throughout the country, improving the material and spiritual life of the working people. However, the long-term maintenance of the model and mechanism of a centralized subsidized economy was no longer suitable and revealed limitations and weaknesses; the planning and implementation of the socialist revolutionary line, at times and in some places, made subjective and voluntarist mistakes. That was also one of the causes leading to economic and social stagnation and crisis in the first years of the whole country moving towards socialism.
Faced with the challenges of the new period, the Party summarized the practice, researched, planned the innovation policy, issued Resolution No. 21-NQ/TW dated September 20, 1979 of the 6th Central Conference (term IV) on "Orientation and tasks for developing consumer goods industry and local industry"; Directive 100-CT/TW dated January 13, 1981 of the Secretariat on "Improving the contracting work, expanding product contracting to labor groups and workers in agricultural cooperatives"; Resolution of the 8th Central Conference, term V (June 1985) recognized commodity production and the laws of commodity production; Conclusion of the Politburo (August 1986) on 3 economic viewpoints in the new situation...
Leading the country's renovation from 1986 to present
Through assessing the country's situation and the process of research and testing, the 6th Party Congress (December 1986) put forward a comprehensive national renovation policy, opening an important turning point in the cause of building socialism in our country.
The 7th Party Congress (June 1991) affirmed to continue synchronous and thorough innovation in all fields with appropriate steps and methods and to maintain the socialist orientation. The Congress approved the Platform for national construction in the transitional period to socialism, determined the viewpoints and directions for national development, and affirmed Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought as the ideological foundation and guideline for the Party's actions.
The Party's resolutions from the 8th Congress to the present continue to affirm the steadfastness and perseverance in implementing the policy of national renewal and international integration. The system of theoretical viewpoints on the renewal process, Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, and Party building and rectification in the new situation has been constantly supplemented and developed. The Communist Party of Vietnam has gradually perfected and comprehensively concretized the orientations of renewal and development, clearly identifying the focus in each stage. The Party Central Committee of all terms has issued many resolutions on important issues; led the National Assembly to continuously supplement, perfect, and institutionalize the Constitution and the legal system, creating an increasingly synchronous and suitable legal basis for the renewal process; led the Government to concretize into mechanisms, policies, and solutions for managing and administering national development and protecting the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland.
The beginning of the new era was the 14th National Party Congress, after nearly 35 years of implementing the Platform for national construction in the transitional period to socialism (1991) and 40 years of implementing the renovation policy initiated and led by our Party; with the will of independence, self-reliance, self-reliance, the aspiration to build and develop the country, the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army are determined to build a rich, strong, democratic, equitable, civilized Vietnam, where the people have a prosperous and happy life. From a poor, backward, low-level, besieged and embargoed country, our country has become a developing country with an average income, deeply and widely integrated into world politics, the global economy, and human civilization, taking on many important international responsibilities. Independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity are maintained, national interests are guaranteed.
The size of our economy has increased 96 times compared to 1986, ranking in the Top 40 leading economies, with a trade scale in the Top 20 countries in the world, an important link in 16 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) connecting 60 key economies in the region; establishing diplomatic relations with 194 countries and territories in the world, having strategic partnerships and comprehensive partnerships with 30 countries, including all permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and the G7 economies. People's lives have improved significantly, the poverty rate has decreased sharply, and the Millennium Development Goals have been achieved early. Political, economic, cultural, social, scientific - technological, national defense and security potential has been constantly enhanced; actively contributing to maintaining peace and stability in the region and the world.
From the 1st Congress (1935), our Party had about 500 members. By the 13th Congress (2021), our Party has about more than 5 million members and more than 53,800 grassroots party organizations. The great and historic achievements in nearly 40 years of implementing the country's renovation under the Party's leadership are the result of a process of continuous efforts and struggles through many terms of the Party, in line with the times and reality of Vietnam, affirming that the Party's renovation policy is correct and creative; the Party's leadership is the leading factor determining all victories of the Vietnamese revolution.
Today's achievements have created momentum for the country's development in the following years in the era of national growth, starting with the important event - the 14th National Party Congress. The era of national growth is the era of breakthrough development, accelerated under the leadership of the Party, successfully building a socialist Vietnam, rich, strong, democratic, fair, civilized, prosperous, happy; catching up, advancing together, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers. The top priority in the new era is to successfully implement the strategic goals by 2030, Vietnam becomes a developing country, with modern industry, high average income; by 2045 it becomes a developed socialist country, with high income; all people are comprehensively developed, have a prosperous, free, happy, civilized life.
