Dear Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, what is the central significance of the Vietnam Glory Program in 2025?
- 2025 marks many important historical milestones of the nation: 95 years of the founding of the Party, 80 years of the founding of the country, 50 years of the Liberation of the South - National Reunification Day. This is also the year of the Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress - opening a new era of development, an era of strong national growth.
The theme of this year's program "Pride and Aspiration" reminds us of the proud historical journey of the nation since 1945 to the present, honoring great achievements in many fields such as politics, economics, culture, science and technology and the military; at the same time, it also emphasizes the nation's desire to reach far. This aspiration is not only a desire for economic development but also demonstrates the strong will of the entire nation in affirming Vietnam's position in the international arena.
Through the program, the Organizing Committee hopes to arouse the sense of responsibility and aspiration of each individual and collective in building a prosperous Vietnam; encourage the active participation of all classes of people in the common development journey.
As of 2024, 110 collectives and 184 individuals have been honored through 20 Vietnamese glorious terms. In 2025, 19 individuals and groups will be honored. These figures show the quality and strong influence of the program. The program has become the destination of collectives and individuals, thereby making more contributions to society and the country.
Can you tell us the criteria for selecting individuals and groups to be nominated and honored in the Vietnam Glory Program in 2025? What are new or priority in this year's selection compared to previous years?
- The program has 3 main selection criteria. Firstly, collectives and individuals have made impressive contributions, especially important, with a long history in the 80 years of building and defending the Fatherland. Second, collectives and individuals have excellently completed their tasks in recent years and have the potential to contribute in the coming years with outstanding achievements in the digital economy, green economy, innovation, and positive impacts on sustainable development. Third, the Advanced model has exemplary actions, highly appreciated by public opinion, and is a source of inspiration for the community.
The new point of the Vietnam Glory Program in 2025 is not only focusing on honoring collectives and individuals who have had many achievements but also focusing on finding collectives and individuals with great potential to contribute in the future, expressing the aspiration of the nation to rise up.
The Vietnam Glory Program has been affirming its great value not only in terms of honor, but also in its spreading vitality and strong educational value for the whole society. This is not only an annual event of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, but also a symbol of national spirit - a place to honor Vietnamese people who live well, work responsibly, dare to dream and dare to contribute.
In the journey of national development to 2045 - vision to become a high-income, fair and humane country - individuals and groups coming out of the Vietnam Glory program are the most concrete images of national aspirations.
