Great national unity is an endless resource for Vietnam's development

Concentrating on the strength of great national unity

In the journey to build and defend the country, the Vietnamese people always find guidance light from the spirit of great national unity. Today, that spirit continues to be fostered and promoted, spreading strongly in every breath of life of the country.

November 18 every year is the National Great Unity Festival. This is an opportunity for each family and each community to promote the role and strength of great solidarity; solidarity right in each family and each community, to multiply into the strength of the entire nation to bring the country into a new era of development.

At the 1st National Assembly Party Congress, term 2025-2030, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ethnic Council, Chairman of the National Assembly's Ethnic Council Lam Van Man stated that great national unity is a precious tradition, an important and consistent strategic guideline of the Party; a great source of strength, a decisive factor in the successful cause of building and defending the Fatherland.

The 2013 Constitution affirms "Ethnic groups are equal, united, respect and help each other develop together; strictly prohibit all acts of discrimination and division" and "The State implements comprehensive development policies and creates conditions for ethnic minorities to promote their internal strength and develop together with the country". The Party has issued many resolutions, directives, and conclusions on ethnic work, promoting the will and strength of great national unity.

The law on gathering and promoting the strength of great national unity and the people's mastery is increasingly improved, thereby, the National Assembly indirectly strengthens the great national unity bloc by creating mechanisms for social components, including ethnic and religious groups, participating in the political system and protecting their legitimate rights and interests. The coordination between the National Assembly and the Fatherland Front creates a dual mechanism in listening and representing the aspirations of the people.

The Chairman of the Ethnic Council said that it is necessary to have a policy of prioritizing investment in ethnic minority and mountainous areas to implement the Resolutions of the newly issued Politburo; identified this as an important basis and premise for ethnic minority and mountainous areas to overcome all difficulties and challenges, turning potential into a practical strength, and develop to join the country in a new era of national development.

Build practical social security policies, ensure equal access to education, healthcare, culture - society, and national resources; create many jobs and livelihoods for people to escape poverty, become rich sustainably with the spirit of not leaving anyone behind in the country's development process.

The Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ethnic Council affirmed that promoting the spirit of great national unity, ensuring equality between ethnic groups, respecting and helping each other develop together is one of the key factors contributing to the successful implementation of the goal of Vietnam being a developing country with modern industry and high average income by 2030, and becoming a developed country with high income in the direction of socialism by 2045.

National Assembly delegate To Thi Bich Chau (HCMC delegation) found that compared to the 2013 Constitution, the amendments and supplements related to the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) in the Resolution amending and supplementing a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution show that the role of the VFF in Vietnam is more important, implying the addition of new, heavier tasks to the VFF.

With the role and tasks being emphasized, how to organize the apparatus from the Party to the government, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations must be closer to the people, closer to the people, more effective, efficient and efficient is the problem.

"So how to achieve this goal? How can the Vietnam Fatherland Front gather more people, expand the target group to gather the strength of the great national unity bloc?" - delegate To Thi Bich Chau raised this issue and said that it is necessary to create conditions for the organization of the apparatus for the Vietnam Fatherland Front to establish and expand close relationships with all classes of people and subjects and organizations to promote the strength of the great national unity bloc; it is necessary to select cadres to work on the front to ensure the implementation of the role and tasks of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.

Taking people as the center, promoting the strength of great national unity To arouse the great strength of great national unity, National Assembly delegate Nguyen Thi Mai Hoa (Dong Thap delegation) when giving her comments on the draft documents of the 14th National Party Congress emphasized that the happiness index of our country in recent times has achieved many outstanding achievements. If we calculate in the period of 2020-2025, we have increased by 37 places, and have increased sharply in recent years in the happiness index. Compared to other countries in the region, Vietnam ranked 2nd in terms of happiness index, just behind Singapore.

The draft political report mentioned the happiness index and set out the view in the coming term as: "Promoting rapid and sustainable development of the country, improving people's lives and happiness". The development goal also identifies: "For a peaceful, independent, democratic, rich, prosperous, civilized and happy Vietnam".

However, regarding goals, targets, groups of tasks and solutions, there are still general issues, and it is not clear whether the criteria for determining the level of happiness and the happiness index of people, communities and families are satisfactory.

The delegate suggested that it is necessary to pay attention to, determine, and supplement targets and indicators on happiness in the draft documents of the 14th National Party Congress. Clarifying the tasks and solutions to build a happy life for people. Accordingly, we should focus on giving specific indicators of satisfaction and satisfaction with ourselves, our families, and the community: villages, communes, hamlets, neighborhoods, agencies, etc. When the indicators show that people are satisfied in the relationships around them, we will have a happy country.

In addition to happy individuals, we must also focus on building happy families. In fact, income may increase, the means of serving human life are increasingly complete and essential, but if the relationship between people in each family, the relationships between people in each community, each village and village are not satisfactory, then happiness is not certain.

We need to pay attention to how to build a safe and happy environment. Happiness in the working environment is also set, if each agency, business, and organization can determine the content of a happy working environment, it will be a great motivation for people to be more united, love each other more, and contribute more.

National Assembly delegate Tran Khanh Thu (Hung Yen delegation) said that the highlight of the draft documents of the 14th National Party Congress is that for the first time, the goals and targets have been developed in conjunction with a specific action program, demonstrating an important step forward in overcoming the situation of "good resolutions but difficult to implement". The spirit of innovation is reflected throughout the entire draft Document, especially in the viewpoint of development with people at the center and promoting democracy and the strength of great national unity.
