Founding of Communist Party of Vietnam – a brilliant milestone in national history

On February 3, 1930, the Communist Party of Vietnam was founded. Under the founding and nurturing leadership of Nguyen Ai Quoc, President Ho Chi Minh, the Party steered the Vietnamese revolution through immense hardships and severe trials, achieving great victories. One of the most brilliant milestones in the Party’s more than 95-year history was its leadership of the struggle to seize power from 1930 to 1945.
