Worthy of the people's trust and love with the name of the Party "Our Party"
55 years have passed since the day the beloved President Ho Chi Minh passed away, but his precious thoughts have become a legacy, illuminating the Vietnamese revolution.
Implementing Uncle Ho's Testament, the Party has always paid special attention to the content of Party building in terms of ethics. This has been implemented more strongly and clearly during the 13th Congress term.
Document XIII of the Party affirms: "Research, supplement, and perfect revolutionary ethical values according to the spirit of our Party, which is ethics and civilization, to suit new conditions and the fine cultural traditions of the nation"[1].
The Central Executive Committee also issued Conclusion No. 21-KL/TW dated October 25, 2021 on promoting Party building and rectification and the political system; resolutely preventing, repelling, and strictly handling cadres and party members who have degraded in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation". The Politburo issued Regulation No. 144-QD/TW dated May 9, 2024 on stipulating revolutionary ethical standards for cadres and party members in the new period.
Recently, the Politburo and the Central Party Secretariat held a national conference to disseminate Regulation No. 144-QD/TW on revolutionary ethical standards of cadres and party members in the new period in both direct and online forms.
In the direction and conclusion of the Conference, Politburo member and Standing member of the Secretariat Luong Cuong emphasized the significance and core contents of Regulation No. 144 on revolutionary ethics standards of Party members in the new period, affirming the special attention of our Party in Party building work on ethics by concretizing it into 5 Articles and 19 contents so that our Party is truly ethical and civilized, as Uncle Ho taught and worthy of the people's trust and love with the name of the Party as "Our Party".
Sharp weapon, overcome all challenges and temptations
Standing member of the Secretariat Luong Cuong also stated that the promulgation of Regulation No. 144 is an initial success. The most important and core thing is that all cadres and party members must thoroughly understand and deeply absorb the regulations and voluntarily practice ethical standards as regularly as daily meals and drinks; make revolutionary ethics a prominent feature of cadres and party members, a sharp weapon, overcoming all challenges and temptations, repelling all risks of degradation in political ideology, ethics in life, self-evolution, self-transformation within the Party, making revolutionary ethics the soul of Party culture; orienting, promoting, building, and consolidating the foundation of ethics, culture and society; spreading strongly among the people, making Vietnamese culture truly become an endogenous strength, a driving force for national development and protection.
According to Dr. Doan Van Bau - Head of the Department of Political Theory, Central Propaganda Department, Regulation 144-QD/TW sets out ethical standards for party members. In particular, each cadre and party member must voluntarily study, strive to cultivate, practice, self-reflect, and self-correct according to ethical standards, love the country, respect the people, and be absolutely loyal to the Party and the Fatherland; be brave, innovative, creative, and integrated; be diligent, frugal, honest, upright, impartial, and selfless; be united, disciplined, compassionate, and responsible; be exemplary, modest, cultivate, practice, and learn throughout life.
Accordingly, to raise awareness of the importance of regulations, grasp, understand deeply, and organize good implementation of regulations, Party committees, Party organizations and authorities at all levels in the political system need to promote their role and responsibility, set an example in implementation. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the work of inspection, supervision and enforcement of Party discipline. In particular, it is necessary to promote the supervisory and critical role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the people, relying on the people to build the Party.
