Overcoming difficulties through self-reliance and self-improvement
The ideological legacy that President Ho Chi Minh, the genius leader of the Party and the nation, the great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, left behind has profound historical and contemporary significance.

In particular, those legacies still retain their theoretical and practical values. Within the framework of this article, we would like to mention one aspect of that entire monumental legacy, which is Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, morality, and style of self-reliance, self-improvement, and aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country.
That is because looking back over the past time, especially in 2023, in the context of facing many difficulties and challenges, our country has overcome them and confidently looks towards 2024 with greater expectations.
Looking back at 2023, the world and domestic situation has many unusual difficulties and challenges, much more complicated than forecast. Why does our country's economy continue to be a bright spot in the not-so-bright picture of the global economy? In other words, how have we overcome the "headwind"?
First of all, it must be affirmed that this is thanks to the wise, close and timely leadership of the Party; the effective accompaniment and supervision of the National Assembly; the proactive, flexible and drastic direction and administration of the Government and the Prime Minister; the solidarity and close coordination of all levels, sectors and localities; the synchronous participation of the entire political system and the efforts of the entire Party and people.
That achievement clearly demonstrated the will of self-reliance and self-improvement of the entire nation according to Ho Chi Minh's thought. The will of self-reliance and self-improvement means not depending on external forces, having an independent viewpoint in international relations; clearly recognizing the power of patriotism and national spirit with pure internationalism.
It is also proactive, preparing all conditions to respond to difficulties and challenges, providing appropriate and timely solutions to gradually resolve them.
In particular, the will to be self-reliant and self-reliant is also demonstrated through focusing on promoting the role and strength of the people as Uncle Ho taught.
In Ho Chi Minh's thought, "People" is the most noble category. He said: "In the sky, nothing is more precious than the people. In the world, nothing is stronger than the united force of the people." "If the leadership is skillful, no matter how difficult or how great the task, the people can do it."
In the context of the world situation having many complex fluctuations, far beyond all forecasts, and the domestic situation still facing many difficulties, the results we have achieved in the past year are very proud.
Looking back at what we have faced, we understand more deeply Uncle Ho's teachings: "Nothing is difficult/ Only fear that the heart is not steadfast/ Digging mountains and filling seas/ With determination, we can do it."
Promoting the tradition of great solidarity
Right from the time he left to find a way to save the country, he had a great desire: Independence for the Fatherland, freedom and happiness for his 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".
His wish has now come true. And not only that, today we are also striving for an increasingly civilized and modern life, aiming to become a developed, high-income country by 2045, when we celebrate the 100th anniversary of our founding.
Our country and our people have gone through countless difficulties and overcome thousands of challenges to achieve the achievements we have today.
And on the road to bringing the country to prosperity and happiness, there will certainly be many difficulties and challenges. Especially when today's era is facing the stormy development of the digital technology revolution.
Human intelligence is achieving unprecedented achievements every day and every hour in history. And every day and every hour it brings about great changes in the lives of all mankind.
Our nation, in addition to the tradition of patriotism and indomitability, has another strength that not every nation has. That is intelligence and creativity, and the tradition of studiousness…
This is a solid foundation for our people to absorb the latest achievements of mankind, always have thoughts, innovations and creativity to shorten the development path, bringing Vietnam quickly to the ranks of advanced countries in the world.
Besides, national solidarity is a precious tradition that has always shone and been promoted throughout the glorious history of building and defending the country of the Vietnamese people.
The 8th Central Conference of the 13th tenure also clearly identified that in the new development period, it is necessary to continue promoting the tradition of great national unity, creating social consensus, strongly arousing patriotism, self-reliance, national pride, belief, and aspiration to contribute, contributing to the successful implementation of the goal that by 2030 Vietnam will be a developing country with modern industry and high average income; By 2045, it will become a developed country with high income, following the socialist orientation.
Realizing the desire for prosperity
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 the nation's internal strength, take advantage of external resources, have attractive policies, and attract foreign investment. Always start from the specific circumstances of the country, creatively apply theory to practice to put forward appropriate viewpoints and policies; Do not be dogmatic or mechanical in learning from other countries' experiences.
In the context of an interdependent developing world, national and ethnic interests are the decisive factor for each country and ethnic group 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 cooperation 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.
More than ever, it is necessary to strongly promote patriotism and national spirit, the will and development aspirations of the entire nation as the driving force for development in the new development stage.
