Insight into 10th National Party Congress
Documentations:
Socialist democracy - goal and motivation of renovation |
|
|
|
One of the most significant
achievements of the 20 years of renovation in Vietnam is
bringing into full play socialist democracy. This issue has
been highlighted in the documents of the 10th National Party
Congress asserting that socialist democracy is both objective
and motivation of renovation. Vietnam is building a socialist
society towards a wealthy people, powerful nation, equality,
democracy and civilisation with working people as masters. |
|
Objectives and leap forward in socio-economic
development |
|
|
|
The recent 10th
National Party Congress has adopted overall goals for
socio-economic development for the next five years as follows:
“Speeding up economic growth, achieving an important change
in raising efficiency and in sustainability of development,
thus quickly bringing the country out of the status of an
under-developed nation.Improving noticeably people’s material,
cultural and spiritual life. Accelerating national
industrialisation and modernisation and developing a
knowledge-based economy, laying a firm foundation for
Vietnam to basically
become a modern industrial nation by 2020...”
Among those overall goals, there
are two important landmarks. First, by 2010, getting the
country out of underdevelopment. Second, by 2020, basically
turning the country into a modern industrial nation. These
landmarks constitute two phases of development, two major
steps forward in the process of national industrialisation and
modernisation. Ha Dang tells more

The tenth National Party Congress and awareness of the
path towards socialism in Vietnam |
|
|
|
 Awareness
of socialism and the path towards socialism in Vietnam has
been a long and not so simple process. The Party has thus
creatively applied Marxism, Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought,
sharing international experience, adapting to Vietnam’s
realities in the quest for relevant theoretical awareness,
especially in the process of renovation. The 10th
National Party Congress asserted, “Awareness of Socialism and
the path towards Socialism has become clearer” (1). That
awareness has been reflected in the Political Report and other
documentations of the 9th Party Central Committee submitted to
the 10th Party Congress. Prof. Dr. Le Huu Nghia
tells more. |

Vietnam after 20 years of renovation
Vietnam’s status ever raised higher in the world |
|
|
|
 The
renovation process initiated by the Communist Party of Vietnam
1986 has seen tremendous achievements of historical
significance, helping to change country’s face and creating a
strong premise and motive force for the country to move ahead
faster and more sustainable in national industrialisation and
modernisation. As a result, Vietnam’s prestige and status are
being raised ever higher in the international arena. Hoang
Lien writes. |
|
Education and training – the foundation and motive force
to boost industrialisation and modernisation |
|
|
|
 During
the past 20 years of renovation, the education and training
sector together with other fields has seen sustainable
developments, becoming a foundation for the improvement of
people's knowledge, personnel training and talent fostering.
The sector is also contributing an important part to providing
sufficient and high quality personnel resource for national
industrialisation and modernisation. Phan Huy Hien tells more. |
|
Our Party only strives for national interest |
|
|
|
...The Communist Party of Vietnam
aims to have no other interest separate from the
country’s interest. Therefore, the Party must strive to mobilise and lead the people to liberate the nation and
improve the people’s political and cultural life. |
|
Poverty reduction – Vietnam’s outstanding achievement |
|
|
|
In recent time, Vietnam has seen a
reduction of over 2% in terms of poor households, equivalent
to over 300,000 households each year. An ambitious target of
hunger eradication and poverty reduction will be considered at
the upcoming tenth National Party Congress to remove the
existence of hungry households and reduce the rate of poor
households (according to new standard) down to 15-16% by 2010. |

|
7th Party Congress: Persisting in goal of
socialism |
|
|
|
Taking place in Hanoi
from June 24-27, 1991, the 7th Party Congress was
an extremely important event, deciding not only heavy
political tasks for the immediate future, but also the path
and steps for Vietnam's revolution in the following decades,
affirming the Party's determination to promote comprehensive
renovation and persist with the goal of national
independence and socialism. |

National independence and socialism – our right choice |

continuing the process of nation building. |
|
Party’s leadership, the decisive factor for the victory
of Vietnam’s revolution |
|
|
|
Those people bearing wicked, hostile and
oppositional motives have recently taken advantage of the public opinion poll on
the draft Political Report to distort, slander and smear the Party, State and
people. However, the Vietnamese Party and people are determined to refute and
reject any counter-revolutionary project. One of their “irrational requirements”
is to remove Article 4 in the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. |

presented at the upcoming 10th National Party
