Along with aiding Party building resolutions and directions, the efficient implementation of Directive 05 has helped enhance the role, position and prestige of the Party and the political system, he said.

Thuong said the directive has also plays a role in the socio-economic, defence, security and external relations achievements of the country over the past three years.

Further research should be made on President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality and lifestyle as well as methods to apply them to the present day, he said.
