Dear comrades,

Entering the period of innovation, the Academy has actively and proactively reformed many aspects of work. Under the leadership of the Party, the Academy's staff and lecturers, with their political and scientific qualities, steadfastness and loyalty to revolutionary ideals, have researched, explored and provided many scientific and practical arguments for the formation and completion of the Party's innovation policy; shifted from a centrally planned economy with subsidized bureaucracy to a market economy with state management and people's ownership; trained and fostered tens of thousands of cadres to serve the innovation process; contributing to protecting the Party, protecting the regime, maintaining the Party's ideological foundation, building the Platform for national construction in the transitional period to socialism in 1991 and supplementing and developing it in 2011, continuing to move the renovation process forward in the face of all negative impacts, including in dangerous moments when the socialist regime in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe collapsed, negatively impacting Vietnam.
In recent years, the Academy has proactively updated and innovated the entire system of textbooks and training materials for titles, advanced training, and intermediate political theory training along with the process of developing the Draft Documents of the 13th National Party Congress.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, I warmly congratulate and commend the great achievements that generations of cadres, civil servants and students of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics have achieved over the past 75 years.
Dear comrades!
We are excited and proud of the achievements that the Academy named after beloved President Ho Chi Minh has achieved after 75 years of construction and development, and are more deeply aware of the glorious responsibility on the journey with the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army to bring the country into a new era, an era of national growth, to fulfill President Ho Chi Minh's wish "Our entire Party and people unite to strive to build a peaceful, unified, independent, democratic and prosperous Vietnam, contributing worthily to the world revolutionary cause", in the context of many favorable conditions, but also many difficulties and challenges.
The world is in a period of epochal change, from now until 2030 is the most important period to determine the new world order, this is also a period of important strategic opportunity, the final stage of the Vietnamese Revolution to achieve the goal of 100 years under the leadership of the Party, 100 years of founding the country. Peace, cooperation, and development are still the main trends, but competition among major countries is increasingly fierce, in which Asia - Pacific is the most fiercely competitive area. Hostile and reactionary forces have never given up their plot to overthrow the leadership role of the Communist Party and the socialist regime in Vietnam; they are vigorously carrying out the strategy of "Peaceful Evolution" with many methods and tricks that are increasingly sophisticated, cunning, and vicious; thoroughly exploit comprehensive and deep international integration to infiltrate internally, promote "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" factors in order to disintegrate our Party and our regime from within. Non-traditional security challenges have caused many negative impacts. The emergence and development of cyberspace along with the 4th industrial revolution with unprecedented scale and speed, has brought about a new era in which underdeveloped and developing countries can take advantage of opportunities, take shortcuts, develop rapidly, rise to become powerful countries or fall into the abyss of backwardness if they fail to take advantage of opportunities. In the country, with 79 years of revolutionary history, with 40 years of national renewal under the leadership of the Party, the cause of building and defending the Fatherland has achieved great achievements and gained the foundation, potential, prestige and international position as today. However, we are also facing the need for a revolution with strong and comprehensive reforms to develop productive forces, perfect production relations, establish new, advanced and modern production methods, and create new momentum for development.
The above situation places increasing demands on the Academy in the work of training, fostering cadres and scientific and theoretical research, contributing to advising and formulating guidelines and policies for national construction and development, making worthy contributions to the renovation process. I would like to suggest 4 issues for you to pay attention to, as follows:
Firstly , strongly innovate the training and fostering of cadres according to the motto "students are the center, schools are the foundation, lecturers are the driving force". Resolutely overcome the situation of being afraid to study, lazy to study theory, studying superficially, roughly, and "glazing" learning; attach importance to education, improving revolutionary ethics, political qualities, ideological stance, and leadership and management capacity for students; linking theory with practice. Proactively follow the requirements for developing high-quality human resources, leadership and management human resources in the Party's resolutions, directives, and conclusions to build appropriate training and fostering programs. Continue to innovate training programs and contents, update knowledge for leadership and management positions; combine theoretical study, practical research with protecting the Party's ideological foundation; equipping vision, strategic thinking, methods, leadership and management skills suitable for each position, agency, locality and country; contributing to building a team of cadres equal to the task, with the spirit of "Dare to think; dare to speak; dare to do; dare to take responsibility; dare to innovate and be creative; dare to face difficulties and challenges and dare to act for the common good".
Second , continue to strongly innovate scientific research work, closely combining theoretical research and practical summarization. Theory plays a particularly important role in the development of the country in the new era. According to Engels, "A nation that wants to stand at the pinnacle of science cannot do without theoretical thinking"; President Ho Chi Minh taught "The Party must be steadfast for the revolution to succeed, just as the helmsman must be steadfast for the boat to sail. If the Party wants to be steadfast, it must have a core ideology, everyone in the Party must understand and follow that ideology. A Party without an ideology is like a person without intelligence, a ship without a compass". Contributing to the development and perfection of theories to guide the successful implementation of the Party's strategic goals is the glorious task of the Academy in the coming time. To do so: (i) The highest goal and requirement of scientific and theoretical research that the Academy must achieve is "Promptly answering new and complex practical problems; forecasting development trends, strategic situations that need to be handled, pointing out bottlenecks that hinder development. Providing timely scientific basis for planning the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws to meet the requirements of national development in the new era, creating consensus within the entire Party and the entire people, refuting erroneous and hostile views, contributing to the successful implementation of the revolution to develop new, advanced and modern production methods, bringing the country firmly into a new era". In other words, theory is the product of scientific research of the Academy that must create historical progress, strong development of economy, politics, culture, society, accelerate the country's progress towards socialism, create a better life for the Vietnamese people and people around the world. (ii) The task of scientific and theoretical research is to protect and continuously develop Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh thought, and perfect the theory of the renovation path, socialism and the path to socialism. Focus on studying strategic issues such as summarizing 100 years of the Party's leadership of the Vietnamese revolution; 40 years of implementing the Platform for national construction during the transitional period in 1991; and making practical and strong contributions to the construction of a complete, scientific and modern theoretical system on socialism and the path to socialism in Vietnam in the process of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country. (iii) Regarding scientific research methods and theories, it is necessary to delve into practical life, into the activities of the Party and the political system, on the basis of the worldview and methodology of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, especially the historical and dialectical viewpoints to receive information, analyze and generalize into theories; to be sensitive to new issues and new developments in the world, and to appropriately absorb the intellectual achievements of mankind to serve the cause of building socialism in Vietnam. (iv) Regarding the scientific research force, it is necessary to pay attention to developing a team of scientists, leaders and managers with pure moral qualities, strong political will and scientific courage; to innovate the mechanism for building and promoting a team of experts and leading cadres with profound knowledge and close ties to practical activities.
Third , build the Academy to truly become a model of Party building work; a model of maintaining school discipline, learning discipline, a red address to nurture the good qualities of Communists; a cradle to train Party spirit, Party culture and steadfast political will for cadres and Party members participating in studying and training at the Academy. Continue to support and accompany Political Schools to soon reach higher standards; perfect the model of Smart Academy; preserve and spread the positive values of Party School culture to Political Schools and other training institutions across the country.
Fourthly , we request that all comrades must thoroughly understand and implement the advice of beloved Uncle Ho in the School's Traditional Golden Book when visiting the Central Nguyen Ai Quoc School, which is "Study to work, to be a human being, to be a cadre. Study to serve the organization, the class and the people, the Fatherland and humanity". More than ever, comrades must be deeply aware of their responsibilities and duties before the Party, the State and the People; before the requirement to successfully implement strategic goals, build a strong Party, a rich and powerful country, democracy, fairness, civilization, and people with a prosperous and happy life. From there, we must constantly cultivate political qualities, ethics, lifestyle, theoretical knowledge, political mettle, thinking, vision and skills, working methods and actively participate in protecting the Party's ideological foundation, worthy of being the academy of the Central Party School named after the great President Ho Chi Minh.
Dear comrades!
With a glorious tradition of 75 years of construction and development; with a team of highly qualified and dedicated cadres, scientists and lecturers, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics will certainly successfully complete all tasks entrusted by the Party, State and people, contributing with the entire Party, people and army to successfully carry out the cause of innovation, construction, development of the country and protection of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
On this occasion, I would like to express my appreciation for the attention, support and assistance of the Central Committees, Ministries, Branches, Unions, Party Committees, local authorities and international partners to the Academy; I hope that you, comrades, will continue to support and accompany the Academy to fulfill its noble mission and responsibility that the Party, State and people have entrusted to us.
Finally, I wish the teachers, officers, civil servants, employees, students of the Academy, delegates and distinguished guests good health, happiness in life and success in work.
Thank you very much!"
