Since assuming the role of Party General Secretary during a historic transitional period marked by numerous challenges, To Lam has demonstrated his role as a unifying core, working closely with the Party Central Committee, the Politburo and the Secretariat to maintain unity in will and action, and to lead the country to important results.

With strategic vision, breakthrough mindset and decisive action, he has directed major reforms to streamline and restructure the political system towards being lean, efficient, effective and strong, earning broad support from cadres, Party members and the public. He has consistently placed the people at the centre of policymaking, with particular attention to social welfare, education, health care and support for vulnerable groups.

Tu noted that the successful 14th National Party Congress marked an important turning point, creating new momentum for sustainable national development. With profound intellect and a deep understanding of both theory and practice, the General Secretary, together with the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat, has led and directed the development of scientific and innovative documents clearly outlining the roadmap for the nation's entry into a new era. The personnel work for the Congress has been carried out rigorously, impartially, and objectively, ensuring the selection of a capable leadership team that meets the expectations of the Party and the people.

Addressing the ceremony, General Secretary Lam said receiving the 45-year Party badge on the occasion of the Party’s 96th founding anniversary is a great honour for himself and his family, and a recognition by the Party of a Party member’s long journey of dedication to the revolutionary cause.

He expressed profound gratitude to the Party, previous generations of leaders, comrades and compatriots, and reaffirmed his determination to continue devoting all his efforts and experience to the common cause, always placing the interests of the Party, the Fatherland and the people above all else, and living up to the noble title of a Party member./.

Communist Party of Vietnam - Source of trust and aspiration

The Party was founded on February 3, 1930, by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc. The people affectionately called it “our Party,” a simple name embodying deep trust. Armed with Marxism–Leninism and a clear goal - national independence, people’s freedom and human happiness - the Party gave the Vietnamese revolution direction, organisation and leadership. From darkness, the nation stepped into the light; from slavery, the people became masters; from loss of independence, Vietnam established its own State in the Autumn of 1945.
