The article is also a strong reminder of the foundational position of Ho Chi Minh's ideology in the journey to realize the aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country.
Throughout the article, the General Secretary clearly affirmed: the country's achievements today, from economic growth, international integration, ensuring social security, protecting sovereignty, strengthening national defense... are all the results of inheriting and promoting the creativity of President Ho Chi Minh's ideological heritage.
That ideology does not only exist in books or majestic speeches, but is liven in every work and every victory of the cause of building and defending the Fatherland of Vietnam.
From a poor country after the war, Vietnam has risen to become a country in the group of 35 largest economies in the world, with an increasingly high foreign position and people's lives are constantly improving.
That is not only the achievement of reform and integration, but also a vivid testament to the persistent vitality of Ho Chi Minh's ideology when properly applied in innovation practice.
But the strong aspiration - as the General Secretary himself recognizes - is still facing many challenges.
Climate change, global strategic competition, development gaps between regions, moral degradation among a part of the staff... require the country to have a stronger momentum, while maintaining a strong ideological foundation to not stray from the goal of the people and the country.
In that context, Ho Chi Minh's ideology is not only a guideline, but also a glue connecting the hearts of the people, a foundation for us to strengthen endogenous strength and promote new development resources.
That ideology affirms: "To save the country and liberate the nation, there is no other path than the path of the revolution without fruit".
And today, in order to compete with the power of the five continents, we have no other way but to continue to consistently the goal of developing the country in the direction of socialist, taking the people as the root, democracy as a driving force, fairness as a measure and civilization as the destination.
As General Secretary To Lam emphasized: "We need to study Uncle Ho every day, learn from big things to small things, learn at an ideal level but also learn in each specific behavior and task".
Because only when Ho Chi Minh's ideology truly becomes a guideline for the daily actions of each cadre, party member and each citizen, will the strong aspiration have a solid foundation to break through.
A strong country is not only a country with a large GDP, but a country with a solid ideological foundation, leading ideals, and a culture as a support.
And Ho Chi Minh's ideology, with its lasting values of democracy, humanity, solidarity, ethics and development, is the foundation for Vietnam to reach an independent, prosperous and happy future.
