Hanoi (VNA) – The recent article penned by Party General Secretary Nguyen PhuTrong,entitled “Proud and confident under the Party'sglorious flag, determined to build a Vietnam more prosperous, powerful,civilised, heroic with a fine and long lasting culture”, has ignited a surge ofpride in the glorious Party, the great President Ho Chi Minh and the heroicVietnamese nation, contributing to strengthening public trust in the Party'sleadership and the bright future that awaits the country and its people.

Col. Nguyen Van Thuc, former inspector from the Air Defence-Air Force under the Vietnam People’s Army, said the article has provided an objective and comprehensive evaluation of the achievements and lessons that the Party, country and people have attained throughout historical stages.

Through scientific and compelling arguments, Party chief Trong asserted that since its establishment, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) has always been steadfastly loyal and creatively applying and creatively applied Marxist-Leninist ideology to the specific conditions of Vietnam, in order to continue advancing the country towards socialism in line with the inevitable trend of the times, he said.

He highlighted the decisive role of the CPV’s leadershipin steeringthe country through the renovation process and ensuring national development in the right direction towardssocialism. Party building and rectification work are also of utmost importance,he said, considering them a key task with vital significance for both the Partyand the socialist regime.

According to Thuc, "wealthy people, strong nation, alongwith a fair, democratic and civilised society” are closely interconnected goalsthat complement each other, serving as a foundation, condition and prerequisitefor the others.

Thecause of renovation and development of a market-oriented socialist economy havebrought about positive results for Vietnam over the past nearly four decades.Transforming from a poor and backward country, Vietnam has emerged as one ofthe middle-income countries, achieving impressive poverty reduction results andincreasingly improving its position on the international stage.

Atthe beginning of the country's renovation in 1986, Vietnam's GDP was around 8billion USD, ranking 9th out of 10 countries in the ASEAN bloc. Thanksto reform, the economy has experienced relatively high growth, reaching 2.56%in 2021 while many economies around the world suffered negative growth. Thefigure rose to 8.02 in 2022, significantly higher than the planned 6-6.5%.

In 2023, it exceeded 5%, a remarkable feat compared to regional and global counterparts. For the first time, Vietnam's GDP hit 430billion USD, ranking third in ASEAN and among the top 40 largest economiesglobally, and the top 20 economies in terms of trade and foreign investmentattraction.

In recent documents, the CPV has affirmed that the theory ofsocialism and the path to socialism in Vietnam are increasingly clearer.

The Party chief’s article demonstrates that the path to socialismchosen by the Party, President Ho and the people is correct and infuses a renewed vigor into the collectiveefforts of the entire Party, people and army's to successfully achieve the setgoals, Thuc concluded./.
