Singapore (VNA) – The Embassy of Vietnam in Singapore, together with various agencies and experts, has organised a series of events to celebrate the 95th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) (February 3, 1930 – 2025).

On the morning of February 3, embassy staff and delegates gathered for a flag-raising ceremony at the embassy. As the national anthem was played, attendees proudly sang in unison, reflecting on the deep pride and patriotism they carry in their hearts.

Following the ceremony, a floral tribute was laid at the statue of President Ho Chi Minh at the Asian Civilisations Museum. This act of respect honored the revolutionary generations, fallen heroes, and comrades who sacrificed their lives for Vietnam's independence and sovereignty. The event also provided an opportunity for the younger generation to carry forward their responsibilities to uphold the legacy of their forebears and continue contributing to their homeland's growth.

Ambassador Tran Phuoc Anh emphasised that the ceremony symbolised the commitment of the embassy’s staff to stand united with the nation, as Vietnam advances into a new era - that of the nation's rise as envisioned by Party General Secretary To Lam.

The founding of the CPV marked a new chapter in Vietnam's history, transforming it from a colonised nation to an independent, free, and developing country. Over the past 95 years, under the Party’s sound leadership, Vietnam has made remarkable strides, overcoming challenges, and firmly defending its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

In an interview with VNA correspondents in Singapore, Professor Vu Minh Khuong from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (National University of Singapore) praised Vietnam’s progress, particularly in infrastructure development, such as expressways. He noted that Vietnam's rapid advancements in the expressway system and automated tolls have positioned the country ahead of many others.

Professor Khuong also outlined the four key aspects of the Party's strategy for achieving its future goals: reaffirming Vietnam’s vision by 2045, relying on the people, strengthening institutions, and seizing opportunities both domestically and internationally. He expressed confidence in the Party’s clear and strategic path toward national prosperity in the next two decades./.
