Solemnly commemoration on 85th founding anniversary of Vietnam Communist Party

Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong made a speech at the ceremony

Looking back at the Party’s history from its formation, development and contributions, General Secretary Trong highlighted the historic meaning of the Party’s foundation on February 3, 1930. “The birth of the CPV is a great turning point in our country’s revolutionary history, marking a milestone in our nation’s development path,” he said, stressing that despite numerous ups and downs and mistakes at times, the Party has seriously worked to correct its shortcomings, thus winning over the people’s trust and support. That is why the Party has been able to lead the Vietnamese revolutionary from victory to victory, recording such accomplishments as the August Revolution in 1945 and the resistance wars to liberate and defend the nation as well as the Doi Moi (renovation) cause, the Party leader said. 

He stressed, “Over recent years, the Party has devoted a great amount of time and great efforts to the key task of Party building. The Party has conducted a drive on Party strengthening in line with the Resolution of the 4th Plenum of the Party Central Committee (11th tenure) and gained initial important outcomes and lessons, helping stop and partly curb negative phenomena, enhancing the Party’s leadership and combat capacity.” 

The Party leader continued, saying “However, there remains a lot to do in strengthening the Party, and the general direction for this task is to build on the good traditions, preserve and fortify the Party’s revolutionary nature and vanguard role, thus building a Party really strong and pure in all terms, from politics, ideology, ethics, organisation, personnel to style of leadership, enhancing the ties between the Party and the masses, ensuring that the Party is capable of leading the country on the path of constant development.” General Secretary Trong noted that the Party’s Doi Moi cause has been carried out for nearly 30 years now, which has brought about historic achievements. 
 

Currently, the whole Party and people are striving to realize the Party’s political programs and the Constitution to accelerate the renovation, industrialization, modernization, develop the socialist-oriented market economy, expand international integration and protect socialism for the goal of wealthy people and a strong nation with democracy, fairness and civilization.

The Party chief stressed the importance of this year when Viet Nam has to fulfill the five-year socio-economic development plan (2011-2015), review the 10-year socio-economic development strategy and organize Party congress at all levels.

He asked for completing key missions set for 2015, including achieving socio-economic development targets, stabilizing the macro-economy, accelerating the implementation of strategic breakthroughs, restructuring the economy in accordance with renovating growth model, guaranteeing social security and welfare, improving people’s lives, protecting sovereignty, independence, and peaceful and sustainable environment as well as boosting diplomatic activities.

The Party leader said this year, the international and domestic situations create many opportunities and advantages, but also pose many difficulties and challenges, requiring the Party, the people and army as a whole to make all out efforts with the highest resolve to fulfil the set tasks. He voiced the firm belief that the CPV will fulfil its mission and the Party, the people and the army will unite as one to build a country of peace, independence, unity, democracy and prosperity, strongly advancing on the path to socialism.
