Determining the theoretical guidelines for innovation as the ideological foundation of the Party
The draft documents to be submitted to the 14th National Congress of the Party (14th National Party Congress) are being consulted by cadres, party members and people until mid-November 2025. Many agencies have organized forms of collecting public opinions, experts, and scientists through many forms of seminars and workshops.
According to the report from the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee, from October 15, 2025 to November 4, there were a total of more than 2.5 million comments from cadres, party members and people on the draft documents submitted to the 14th National Party Congress.
Dr. Bui Van Thach - full-time Vice Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, former Deputy Chief of the Party Central Committee Office - emphasized that the 14th Congress term has very high requirements for the aspiration to develop the country, with many new and important contents, "a requirement of the times".
The draft document has 18 new, fundamental issues, most importantly the core system to promote future breakthroughs. In particular, the first new point is that the Party identifies the theory of the innovation line as the Party's ideological foundation.
This is an extremely new issue, affirming the leadership capacity and capacity of our Party - Mr. Thach emphasized.
Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quoc Suu - Deputy Director of the Academy of Public Administration and Management - mentioned the "revolution" in reorganizing the apparatus, organizing a 2-level local government model. Emphasizing many positive points, he noted the need for economic policies and incentives to retain talented people in the civil service as well as commensurate with the contributions of cadres, civil servants and public employees in the public sector.
Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quoc Suu said that the draft Political Report has been stated very clearly and accurately, but proposed to add many major tasks that have been carried out in 2025, especially building an effective, efficient and efficient public administration.
The spirit of development in the 14th Congress documents is very new
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung - Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Vice Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, Permanent Director of the Party's 14th National Party Congress Documents Editorial Team - said that our Party has determined the development milestones through two 100-year goals by 2030 and 2045.
"Thus we have clearly seen the goal, the time, what we need is faith and aspiration. Just like the belief and aspiration that made the victory 50 years ago.
I also think and I am sure many comrades and people also think, perhaps no nation that has made a great victory cannot make a miracle for development".
However, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung also acknowledged that achieving the above two 100-year goals is not easy. According to him, Vietnam has spent 40 years, moving from a poor, backward, underdeveloped, low-income country to a high-middle-income country. Thus, from now until 2045, there are about 20 years left for Vietnam to become a developed country with high income.
The Draft Political Report of the 14th Congress identifies the risk of coverage as the risk of falling behind, especially falling into the middle-income trap. However, before falling into the middle-income trap, there is a huge challenge: the "average thinking trap". Doing everything is fair, fair, even if done but not many results.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung said that the documents of the 14th Congress especially emphasize that the thinking of non-linear development, present and future is not on a straight line and this is an opportunity for a breakthrough. The spirit of development in the draft documents of the 14th Congress is very new.
The report of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee, related to the theme of the 14th Congress in the draft Political Report of the 13th Party Central Committee, the majority of opinions were highly unanimous, affirming that the theme is profoundly general, demonstrating the intelligence, vision, goals and political determination of the entire Party, people and army in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland; affirming the steadfast will and aspiration to develop a prosperous, happy country, firmly moving towards socialism in the new era. Some opinions suggested adding and emphasizing more factors such as "national defense - security", " included human development", or adding the element of " won't be left out" to deepen the value of humanity and democracy.
