Vietnam “has become Asia's hottest investment destination.
It "was at the top position for two consecutive years among the destinations expected to attract the most foreign investment in the APEC region.
Regarding institutional building, the National Assembly and the Government have enacted a string of policies to address pressing issues faced by the country while the 12th Party Central Committee issued several resolutions
Regarding organizational structure, the Party issued resolutions and regulations on continuing the renovation of apparatus for a streamlined, effective and efficient political system
the Party and State has time and again led and directed the fight against corruption, wastefulness, bureaucracy and negative phenomena for many years which was vigorously stepped up in recent time and achieved concrete and obvious results.
Serious and complicated corruption and economic cases involving high-ranking leaders of the Party and State, generals and officials in the public security force and army, incumbent cadres and pensioners were brought to trial and were resolutely and strictly handled in keeping with the Party rules and State laws.
This is a breakthrough in Party building and rectification in order to tighten discipline throughout the State apparatus and the political system, which has contributed to consolidating trust of people from all social strata in the Party’s leadership.
Despites many difficulties, challenges and limitations, our country’s status and strengths have been strengthened.
Many international organizations have said Viet Nam is a socially and politically stable country with good economic and cultural development, a fast-growing economy in the region and the world.
Is this a feat when our country is facing difficulties and the world is undergoing many strong and complicated changes? What is more important is that we have learned valuable lessons.
What are the reasons to our achievements and successes? There are a lot of reasons. But perhaps the main one is that we have inherited important and historically significant achievements after more than 30 years of renovation and the comprehensive results in the 2 years of 2016 and 2017.
We have the solidarity, unity, joint efforts, consensus of the entire Party, people, and army.
The whole political system, including the leading bodies of the Party, National Assembly, Government, Vietnam Fatherland Front and branches, levels and unions, has been renovated.
Revolutionary reality shows that over the past 89 years since its inception, the Party’s right and clear-sighted leadership has proved to be the decisive factor behind every victories and wonderful achievements of the Vietnamese revolutions.
in that process, our Party has accumulated and drawn up many valuable lessons, built up glorious traditions that we have the responsibility to preserve and promote.
With elation and pride, we firmly believe that the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Party of President Ho Chi Minh, will definitely fulfill its responsibility. Let the entire Party, people and army join efforts to make Vietnam a peaceful, independent, unified, democratic, and strong country moving toward socialism.
