Dear comrades, compatriots and delegates,

Immediately after the August Revolution in 1945 was successful, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was born, our nation had to enter two resistance wars and struggle to protect the independence and reunification of the country. The resistance war against the French colonialists ended, as well as many peoples in the world, the Vietnamese people wanted to have a peaceful, independent and free life. However, the American Empire quickly replaced the French colonialists in Vietnam, implementing the plot to divide our country, turning the south of our country into a new colony, a outpost to prevent communism in Southeast Asia and other progressive forces in the world.

During the war of invading Vietnam, the American empire mobilized a large number of soldiers with the most advanced and modern weapons, implementing many dangerous war strategies; conducted two brutal destructive wars against the North, causing many pain and losses for the people in both the country and the consequences of the war still lasted today.

Facing many difficulties, challenges, hardships, fierce, but inherited and promoted the glorious tradition of foreign invaders of his father, summarizing valuable lessons in the anti -French anti -colonial battlefield, with the bravery and wise intelligence, promoting the strength of the people and the great unity bloc of the whole nation, taking advantage of the support and assistance of the people of international friends, the people who love the world and the people who love the people. Our Party and President Ho Chi Minh led the army and our people to perform two strategic tasks: Socialist revolution in the North and the people's revolution of the people in the South, resolutely fighting the invading enemies.

With the burning desire to protect the independence, unifying the country, with the spirit of "nothing more precious than independence and freedom", throughout the country "from the South of the South to Ca Mau's nose" the whole nation agreed to chase the invading troops and everywhere marked the courage, sacrifice and the glorious feats of our army and people. Cooking the iron will "Liberation in the South and the decision", our army and people won step by step, demolished each part, proceeded to win completely with the peak of the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, collecting a river to a relationship.

The years will pass, but the victory of our people in the cause of the resistance against the US to save the country is forever recorded in the history of the nation such as the shining symbol of revolutionary heroism, the victory of justice, the victory of bravery, mettle and intelligence of Vietnam; of passionate patriotism, independent desire, freedom and unity, with the truth "Vietnam is one, the Vietnamese people are one", a milestone affirming the whole Party, the entire people, our entire army has been realized and the most earnest instructions of Uncle Ho, fulfilling the complete liberation career in the South, unifying the country, North-South reunited with one house.

The victory of the resistance war against the US to save the country stems from the right and creative leadership of the Party; From the people's war policy, conducted with the strength of great unity of the whole nation and international solidarity; From the combination of military struggle, political struggle, diplomatic struggle and the art of choosing the right opportunity, gathering forces to conduct a total attack and rebellion; From the power of the Big Late of the North for the large frontline of the South, with the spirit: The paddy does not lack one weight, the army does not lack a person; rid of Truong Son to save the country; From the great support, help, meaning, love and effectiveness of the Soviet Union, China and socialist countries; special solidarity of Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia; The people and forces who love peace and progress in the world, including the American progressive people.

In particular, the Great Spring Victory in 1975 strongly encouraged the national liberation struggle movement of the world's people for peace, national independence, democracy and social progress; initiated the bankruptcy of new-style colonialism around the world, creating an important turning point in the history of humanity in the 20th century.

With its significance of modern stature, the Great Spring Victory of 1975 left valuable lessons in both theory and practice for the revolutionary cause of the Party and our nation. That is:

(1) Lessons on promoting the strength of the people and the great national unity bloc, smoothly combining national strength with the strength of the times;

(2) Lessons on promoting patriotism, self-respect, national pride; the spirit of independence, self-reliance, bravery, resilience; the will to fight, the will to win of the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army;

(3) Lessons on raising the flag of national independence and socialism, determining the correct direction, in accordance with the conditions and characteristics of the Vietnamese revolution;

(4) Lessons on the application and creative development of revolutionary fighting methods and methods of conducting all-people, comprehensive war; deploying unique and creative people's war theory and military art; "taking less enemy, taking more", "taking the will of others instead of violence";

(5) Lessons on grasping, seizing opportunities and advancing quickly, boldly, proactively, acutely, flexibly, creatively and resolutely leading the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of 1975 to complete victory.

(6) Lessons about compassion, national harmony, putting the past behind, looking towards the future after victory;

(7) But the biggest lesson, and the leading factor determining the victory of the Spring Spring in 1975 is to maintain the absolute leadership of the Party; building a strong and comprehensive Party; Improving the leadership and fighting capacity of the Party during the struggle for national liberation, reunification and protecting the achievements of socialism.

Dear comrades, compatriots and delegates,

Promoting valuable lessons from the victory of the resistance war against the US to save the country, under the leadership of the Party, the entire people and the whole army, we have joined together, agreed to restore, rebuild, build and develop the country according to Uncle Ho's will "My final desire is the whole Party, our entire people unite to strive, build a peaceful, unified, independent and rich, rich and strong Vietnamese world."

After 50 years of national reunification and nearly 40 years of renovation, our country has overcome many difficulties and challenges, achieved great achievements of historical significance and created the foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it is today.

From a poor country, outdated and devastated by war, surrounded and isolated, Vietnam has now become a developing country with a high average income, deeply integrated into world politics, the global economy, and human civilization, taking on many international responsibilities, and playing a proactive and active role at many international organizations and important multilateral forums.

Independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity are maintained; national and ethnic interests are guaranteed. The size of the economy in 2024 will rank 32nd in the world and be in the group of 20 leading economies in trade and attracting foreign investment.

People's lives have improved significantly, the poverty rate has decreased sharply, currently only 1.93% (according to multidimensional standards) compared to more than 60% in 1986. Economic, political, cultural, social, scientific-technical, national defense and security potential are constantly being strengthened.

Foreign relations are expanded; the country's position and prestige are constantly enhanced. To date, Vietnam has had diplomatic relations with 194 United Nations member countries; built cooperative relations, strategic partnerships, and comprehensive strategic partnerships with all major powers in the world, including the United States, and 2025 is also the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the United States.

Dear comrades, compatriots and delegates,

Half a century has passed, but with the great achievements that have been achieved, we are facing a new historical starting point to bring the country up, take off, "sharing the shoulders of the powers of the five continents". To realize the aspiration to build Vietnam for more than ten days now, we need to unleash all productive power, unlock all resources, promote all the countrys potential and strengths to strongly promote socio-economic development.

In 2025, strive for economic growth of 8% or more and reach double digits in the 2026-2030 period, determined to successfully implement strategic goals by 2030, Vietnam will become a developing country with modern industry and high average income; by 2045, it will become a developed country with high income in the socialist orientation.

Focus on completely solving bottlenecks and bottlenecks in development institutions; adjusting economic space, expanding development space, strengthening decentralization, delegation of authority, allocation and combining economic resources; Establishing a new growth model with science and technology, innovation and digital transformation as the main driving force to create strong changes in productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the economy, identifying the private economy as the most important driving force of the national economy. Continue to break through thinking and methods to create new productive power, new, new quality productive forces.

Proud of the glorious historical tradition of the nation, with infinite gratitude to the great dedication and sacrifices of soldiers and compatriots nationwide, the more we are aware of the responsibility to implement Uncle's instructions before going away "the Party must have a good plan to develop the economy and culture, in order to constantly improve the lives of the people". Taking care of the people, meeting the better and more material and spiritual life for the people, especially the people in remote areas, the border, the islands, the revolutionary base, the old resistance area is always the goal of the Party's striving.

We must focus on implementing fairness policies, social progress, social security, social welfare, policies for people with meritorious services; implement tuition exemption policies for high school students; determined to complete the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide, promote the construction of social housing for low-income people; focus on developing health care, health care for people, moving towards exempting hospital fees for people, so that every Vietnamese person can truly have a safe, free, prosperous and happy life.

Deeply aware of the uncomfortable great power of the people and the great unity bloc of the entire Vietnamese nation, we thoroughly grasp, consistently implement the view of "the people is the root", the person is the center, the subject, the purpose of the construction, development of the country and defending the Fatherland. Strongly implementing the policy of harmony and national reconciliation with our spirit are all bloody, all of which are siblings, "like a tree, like a one -house". All Vietnamese are the people of Vietnam, have the right to live, work, and freedom to pursue happiness and love in the homeland, have the right and responsibility to contribute to building the Fatherland.

With the policy of closing the past, respecting differences, and looking towards the future, the entire Party, people and army must strive to build a peaceful, united, happy, prosperous and developed Vietnam.

As a nation that has experienced countless pains and losses due to war in the past and is also a nation that has enjoyed great benefits from peace and friendly cooperation in recent decades. Vietnam strongly hopes to work with the international community to build a peaceful, prosperous, united and developed future. Let's do everything we can today, with the desire to leave for the next generation not only a better world, but also the belief and admiration for the sense of responsibility and intelligence of today's generation.

We will continue to deepen the friendship and cooperation with countries around the world; promote the implementation of the motto "Vietnam is a friend, a trustworthy partner and an active and responsible member of the international community"; innovate mechanisms and policies, create all favorable conditions for international friends and the overseas Vietnamese community, those who carry Vietnamese cultural identity, mature in developed countries, have a deep understanding of expertise and management, and have extensive international connections to participate in activities to promote socio-economic development in Vietnam.

The 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day is also a historic moment for all Vietnamese people, all classes of people, ethnic groups, religions, Party members and all people in the country and overseas Vietnamese, millions of people to unite, unite, join hands, and turn to the Fatherland for the goal of building a rich, prosperous, civilized, and happy Vietnam.

In the context of the complicated world situation, as a nation that has suffered many losses and pain due to war, deeply understanding the precious value of peace, independence and freedom, we need to continue to strengthen and modernize national defense and security, build a national defense for peace and self-defense, firmly protect the Fatherland "from early", "from afar", " Preserving the country when it is not yet in danger".

Building and promoting the "people's battle", firmly consolidating the posture of the entire people's defense and the people's security posture. Building the People's Army and People's Police of the Revolutionary, Regular, Elite and Modern, is the core force to firmly protect the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Fatherland, "Sword Sword" and "shield" to protect the Party, the State, the people and protect the regime, always a solid fulcrum for the people.

Proud of the glorious party and the great feats of our army and people under the leadership of the Party, the more we strive to build a clean, strong and comprehensive Party so that the Party is truly "morality, civilization", typical of intelligence, honor, conscience of the nation and the era, worthy of the beliefs, choices and expectations of the people.
