This momentous event marked a great historical turning point for the nation, ending a prolonged crisis in the organization and direction of the Vietnamese revolution.

Mr. Ngo Chi Cuong stressed the need for every Party organization, cadre, and Party member to thoroughly grasp and implement the Party’s leadership orientation under the principle:

“Discipline is the foundation – Responsibility is the driving force – Innovation is the key – Success is the destination.” Each individual must uphold a strong sense of responsibility, ensuring that words go hand in hand with actions, working with integrity, vision, and tangible results.
