Role of Leadership in National Development
At the seminar, Member of the Politburo, Secretary of the Central Committee, and Head of the Central Propaganda Commission, Nguyễn Trọng Nghĩa, affirmed that the Vietnamese revolution’s practice has clearly demonstrated the Party’s wise leadership. All successive victories of the nation have been closely linked to the Party’s correct guidance and resilience.
He emphasized: “No other political force except the Communist Party of Vietnam possesses the intellect, experience, and credibility to lead the country through every difficulty and challenge.” In the rapidly changing global context, the Party must continue to innovate its thinking and enhance its leadership capabilities to advance towards the goal of “a wealthy people, a strong country, democracy, fairness, and civilization.”
Strategic Directions for the Future
Professor Dr. Nguyễn Xuân Thắng, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, presented the keynote address. He stressed that to achieve strategic goals by 2030 and 2045, the Party needs to focus on aggressively modernizing development thinking, promoting innovation, and formulating groundbreaking policies.
Specifically, by 2030, Vietnam aims to become a developing country with modern industry and high-middle income. By 2045, on the centenary of the nation’s founding, Vietnam aspires to be a developed country with high income, following the socialist orientation. To achieve this, the Party must continue to consolidate internal strength, enhance unity, and remain steadfast in its ideals of national independence combined with socialism.
