Book features 80 years of the Communist Party
The National Political Publishing House has published a new book recounting the establishment and development of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) over the past 80 years.
The three-part book contains articles by a number of Party and State leaders and experts from various fields, depicting the growth and great achievement of the Party since its foundation on February 3, 1930.
The first section introduces the birth of the CPV and its leadership and its subsequent role in the national democratic people’s revolution. It includes 20 articles that highlight the revolutionary theory and creative thought of President Ho Chi Minh, the strategic adjustment in leadership for the 1936-1939 democratic movement, the Party’s lines in the resistance war against the French colonialists, and the Party’s lines regarding peasants and land for them. This section also addresses the Party’s policies on economic, military and diplomatic affairs in the wars of resistance against the French and US occupation.
The second section deals with the Party’s role in leading the socialist revolution and the processes of renovation (doi moi) and integration. The 52 articles in this part focus on theoretical issues and practices in reforms, construction of a law-governed state, the socialist democracy and the opportunities and challenges faced by the current Vietnamese revolution. This part also mentions a series of issues such as Party building, cadres, communication and education, party members’ ethics, the knowledge economy, security and defence, and policies on ethnic groups and religions.
The final section, which comprises 12 articles, outlines the relation between the CPV and the world’s revolutionary movements, especially those in China, the former Soviet Union, Laos, Cambodia and Cuba. It also introduces the CPV’s contributions to Marxism-Leninism and the international communist and workers movements.
The National Political Publishing House has recently put out several other books on the CPV’s leadership skills.
Great pride in CPV
“Taking great pride in its glorious 80-year past, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) will continue enhancing its leadership role to assume the new tasks entrusted to it by the whole nation, said Party leader Nong Duc Manh.
Mr Manh hosted a reception for delegations from various mass organisations in Hanoi on February 1 in the presence of State President Nguyen Minh Triet, Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Phu Trong and many other Party and State leaders.
Delegates expressed their pride in the CPV founded by President Ho Chi Minh, which has led the Vietnamese people to win victory after another and has made a great effort in improving their living standards as well as in raising the country’s status in the international arena.
President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Huynh Dam said the VFF, together with the whole nation, vow to unite and to put implicit confidence in the CPV’s leadership to build Vietnam into a prosperous country.
Mr Manh praised the State, the NA, the VFF, the armed forces and people, including overseas for making great contributions to the CPV’s glorious victories over the past 80 years.
The CPV always persists in keeping national independence closely associated with socialism to ensure the goal of rich people, a strong country and a just, democratic and civilized society will become a reality, said Mr Manh.
The Party leader called on the entire people to fulfill the socio-economic tasks set for 2010 and make thorough preparations for the upcoming 11th National Party Congress.
