Comrade Nguyen Phu Trong was the first to make the statement, which was approved by the 13th Party Congress and included in the Congress Resolution: " With all modesty, we can still say that: Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today ."
Those achievements are the crystallization of creativity, the result of the persistent and continuous efforts through many revolutionary stages and many terms of the entire Party, people and army on the basis of constantly developing and perfecting the theory and organization of implementation of socialism and the path to socialism in Vietnam - That is to firmly adhere to, apply and creatively develop Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought in conjunction with promoting the fine cultural traditions of the nation and inheriting the intellectual quintessence of humanity; firmly adhere to the goal of national independence and socialism; firmly adhere to the path of innovation; steadfastly uphold the principles of organization and operation of the Party, clearly demonstrated through the Party's Resolutions at the Congresses, the Resolutions of the Central Committee and generalized and systematized in the great theoretical works and works of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, especially the article " Some theoretical and practical issues on socialism and the path to socialism in Vietnam " on the occasion of the 131st anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday.
Over the past time, along with the steadfast goal of national independence and socialism, we have focused on building and consolidating three fundamental elements: socialist democracy, a socialist rule-of-law state and a socialist-oriented market economy; with the consistent viewpoint of taking people as the center, the subject, the goal, the driving force and the most important resource of development, without sacrificing progress, social justice and the environment to pursue mere economic growth.
Through nearly 40 years of innovation under the leadership of the Party, thanks to the drastic participation and efforts of the entire political system, the entire people and the entire army in synchronously, drastically and effectively implementing the guidelines, policies and strategies of the Party and the State, we have overcome many difficulties and challenges and achieved great and historic achievements, confirmed by specific results in various fields and are also vivid and convincing evidence for the summary and general assessment of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
