Developing the strength of great national unity in building and safeguarding Vietnam in face of new requirements
Developing the strength of great national unity in building and safeguarding Vietnam in face of new requirements
12/12/16
The Party strength is
the close relationship between the Party and the people. Thus, all Party
guidelines and State laws and policies need to be relevant to people’s will,
stem from people’s legitimate interests and aspirations, make people
understand, be alive to and turn them into their will and action and go into
life. The mission of the Party and the entire political system is to
incessantly renew its leadership modality, enhance its intelligence and
fighting strength to rally people of all strata in the great national unity
bloc, creating solid strength in the cause of building and safeguarding the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam homeland.
Over the past thousand years of national construction and defense, great
national unity has become an invaluable legacy and extremely valuable tradition
of our nation. Patriotism, solidarity, benevolence, tolerance, and mutual
love have permeated into the thought, emotion and soul of every Vietnamese,
becoming raison d’être, an adhesive attaching members of the great family of
Vietnamese nationalities. History proves the tradition of great national unity
in our country regardless of any circumstance, creating an invincible strength
and taking our nation to overcome all difficulties and challenges to win one
victory after another, achieving glorious exploits.
Since coming into existence and in the course of leading the
revolution, our Party has always considered great national unity as a
strategic guideline, a source of strength, key motivation and factor deciding
the success of the Vietnamese revolution. Developing the strength of great
national unity has become one of the major lessons learned, a modality and also
a condition ensuring successful implementation of the national liberation
struggle, national construction and defense and national development in each
revolutionary stage. From the rich reality of the revolutionary struggle,
President Ho Chi Minh generalized the idea of great national unity. He
stressed,“Unity, unity, great unity. Success, success, great success”.
The document of the 12th National Party Congress points out “Strongly develop
all resources and all creative potentials of the people to build and safeguard
the homeland; take the goal of building Vietnam of peace, independence,
unification and territorial integrity, and “rich people, powerful, democratic,
equitable and civilized country” as a similarity; respect differences which are
not contrary to the common interests of the country and nation; uphold the
spirit of nationality and tradition of patriotism, benevolence, and tolerance
to rally and unite all Vietnamese at home and overseas, strengthen close
relationship between the people and the Party and State, and create a new
vitality for the great unity of the entire nation.” (1)
Since the August 1945 Revolution, our Party and State have
issued many guidelines, laws and policies on nationality, religion, youth,
women, workers, farmers, intellectuals, artists and overseas Vietnamese … in
order to rekindle and develop the strength of great national unity in
the cause of national construction, defense and development. The awareness and
responsibility of Party executive committees and authorities at all levels on
development of the strength of great national unity in fulfilling the task of
socio-economic development, and ensuring national defense and security of the
organizations and localities has been paid much attention to and seen positive
changes. All levels and sectors have attached great importance to
grassroots levels, stayed close to the area of work and the people, increased
dialogue with the people, grasped in time their concerns, aspirations,
proposals and petitions so as to give advice to the Party and State to
adopt policies and solutions to effectively resolve problems directly relating
to people’s life. The implementation of many policies, target programs and
goals has obviously improved socio-economic infrastructure and people’s living
standards in ethnic minority areas; and respected, preserved and developed the
traditional cultures of ethnic minority groups. The agitation work among ethnic
minorities, religious believers and dignitaries to respond to and take part in
different campaigns and movements of patriotic emulation and building the great
unity bloc of all nationalities has recorded practical achievements.
Under the guideline “People know, people discuss, people
do and people monitor”, the right to mastery of the people in State
management and socio-economic management has step by step been strengthened,
representative democracy and direct democracy at the grassroots level have been
expanded, contributing to encouraging people of all strata to boost production
and actively take part in implementing the tasks of economic, cultural and
social development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction, implementing the
policy toward the rear, caring for wounded and sick soldiers, families of
martyrs and people who have rendered great services to the revolution; building
an all-people national defense, all-people defense posture closely linked to
people’s security and people’s solid security posture, incessantly
consolidating and strengthening “people’s heart and mind”, contributing to
building the great national unity bloc.
The rallying of people of all strata at home and overseas under
diverse forms has seen a new step of development. The Vietnam
Fatherland Front and mass organizations have been expanded and their role and
position in the society have been raised; their operational content and
modality have been renewed, better meeting the aspirations and interests of
their members and engaging people of all strata in campaigns and movements of
patriotic emulation and building a pure and strong political system at
grassroots level, attracting our compatriots overseas to contribute their human
and material resources to building our homeland to be further strong and
prosperous. This helps increase the atmosphere of democracy and consensus in
the society, creating favourable conditions for people of all strata to
actively implement the Party guidelines and State laws and policies.
In the process of building the juridical Socialist State of the
people, by the people and for the people, promoting industrialization,
modernization and international integration, our country is facing many
issues newly emerged, affecting the thought, emotion and life of the
people. The gap between the rich and the poor and stratification are
increasingly serious; bureaucracy, corruption, wastefulness, violations of the
legitimate rights and interests of the people still take place in a complicated
way, causing pressing public reaction, and together with signs of
“self-evolution” and “self-transformation” within the organization are eroding
the people’s trust, becoming a challenge to the close relationship between the
Party, State and people. Reality demands us to continue consolidating firmly
the great national unity bloc, developing the great strength of the entire
people in the cause of building and safeguarding the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam homeland.
To successfully implement national industrialization and
modernization and international integration, maintain independence,
sovereignty, unification and territorial integrity of the country, it
is needed to raise awareness and enhance sense of responsibility of the political
system, all levels, sectors and the entire society in building and
consolidating the great national unity bloc in the new stage. Thoroughly
grasp of the key viewpoint in thought and consistently implement with action by
every Party official and member: Revolution is the cause of the people, by the
people and for the people, people are the masters and people are in the mastery
position; great national unity must be based on harmonizing the interests of
members of the society, constantly improve the spiritual and material life of
the people, ensuring for every citizen to live in a safe and security
environment and enjoy the gains of the Renovation. The overall and
cross-cutting mission of all levels and sectors is to rally and encourage
people of all strata at home and overseas to incessantly unite and make all out
efforts in building, safeguarding and developing the country.
Continue to institutionalize the guideline “People know, people
discuss, people do, people monitor” into policies, regulations and specific
rules for the people to develop their right to mastery in reality and fulfill
well their responsibilities and obligations toward the State and society. Develop mechanisms, policies and
organizational forms for the people to develop their right to mastery in all
aspects of social life, develop their talent and creativeness, and production
and business to legally enrich themselves, bringing benefits for them and for
the country. Concentrate in building a contingent of officials and civil
servants who “stay close to the people, understand the people, learn
from the people and are responsible for the people,” set examples, are devoted
to their work, match words and deeds and are really servants of the people. Strengthen
law, order and discipline within the Party and civil authority machinery on the
basis of making clear individual responsibility toward acts of contempt, and
acts which are harmful to the legitimate rights and interests of the people,
strictly handle them by law and consolidate people’s trust in the Party and
State. Be determined and persist in successfully implementing the Resolution of
the 4th Plenum of the Party Central Committee, 11th Tenure, on “Some
urgent issues in Party building work at present” as well as promoting
learning and following Ho Chi Minh’s thought, ethics and working style under
Instruction No. 05-CT/TW dated 15 May 2016 of the Party Political Bureau,
building really strong and pure Party organizations and State agencies.
Party executive committees and authorities at all levels need
to diversify their communication forms, expand and improve the quality
patriotic tradition education, sense of responsibility of citizens, social
ethics, professional ethics, build social consensus and uphold sense of
community responsibility, self-reliance and self-strengtheningto build and
safeguard the country, considering them important factors for consolidating and
developing the great national unity bloc. Care for the practical and legitimate
interests of the people; combine harmoniously individual, collective and social
interests; mobilize people’s efforts while fostering their strength; develop
democracy in close connection with strictly maintaining the country’s laws and
orders, and fight against bureaucracy, corruption and wastefulness. Promote
judicial reforms and administrative reforms, renew working style, rectify
people- service attitude; target activities more to grassroots and every family
household, particularly in remote and especially disadvantaged areas, mobilize
and help people in hunger eradication and poverty reduction and build a
plentiful and happy life in every residential community. Implement well the
Regulation on grassroots democracy, create favourable conditions for people to
proactively take part in developing and monitoring the implementation of
policies, programs and socio-economic development plans, and ensure defense and
security in localities. Regularly hold dialogue with and listen to
the people and resolve their difficulties, pressing problems and legitimate aspirations,
particularly issues directly related to their life, employment, land and
environment…; strictly handle cases of corruption and negative phenomena;
resolve well cases of complaints and grievances by large groups of people , not
to let them become long lasting and complicated. Proactively fight against
distorting and inciting allegation by hostile and reactionary forces trying to
damage our great national unity bloc and divide people and the Party and State.
Continue to implement well socio-economic development
policies in ethnic minority and mountainous areas; review, supplement and
amend existing policies to be more complete and study to adopt new policies to
meet requirements for development of ethnic minority areas and the task of
ethnic minority affairs in the new stage. Maintain and develop the ancestral
worship tradition, honour and be grateful to those who render great services to
the country; respect the traditional belief of ethnic minorities and religious
followers, thus increasing the consensus between religious believers and
non-religious believers, and between believers of different religions; at the
same time actively fight against signs and acts of superstition, misusing
religions to harm the interests of the homeland and people.
Enhance the position and role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and
mass organizations in implementing the policy of great national unity,
nationality and religious affairs. Diversify forms of allying and encouraging
people to exert synergy to successfully implement the Party guidelines and
State policies and laws. Actively
grasp and reflect in time the concerns and aspirations of the people of all
strata, defend the legitimate rights and interests of members; at the same time
fulfill well the role of monitoring of State agencies,
officials and civil servants, contributing to building strong and pure
authorities at all levels. Promote the implementation of campaigns and
movements of patriotic emulation, particularly the movement “The entire people
unite in building new rural areas and civilized urban areas” in 2016-2010
period, launched by the Vietnam Fatherland Front. Respect and honour people’s
devotion and contribution, praise in time examples of “good people and good
deeds” and replicate progressive examples. Adopt policies to encourage,
cultivate, guide and develop the role of prestigious folks in ethnic minority
groups and religious dignitaries in implementing the policies on nationality,
religion, economic, cultural and social development, defending security and
social order in their areas. Care for people-to-people external work, actively
mobilize and adopt policies to attract overseas Vietnamese to turn their
thought to the homeland, build the country to be strong and prosperous, preserve
national identity and the images of people and land of Vietnam; reward and
encourage in time people who record outstanding achievements, at the same time
proactively coordinate with competent authorities of the host country to take
effective measures to depend the legitimate rights and interests of our
compatriots overseas.

Great national unity is a valuable tradition of the nation, which has been accumulated through the process of the country building and defence.
Under the leadership of the Party, strengthening the great national unity on the basis of the working class, peasant class and intellectuals is the Vietnamese revolution’s strategy.
Great national unity is viewed as the main and decisive factor ensuring the success of the country’s development and defence of the Fatherland.
The nation’s father also taught that real unity requires real democracy.
Alongside its main mission of uniting Vietnamese people and promoting the strength of great national unity, the Vietnam Fatherland Front brings the Party’s and State’s policies to the people via its organizations at all levels.
National unity, which is an extremely precious tradition of the Vietnamese people, was forged through the thousand-year history of national building and defence, helping the people defeat invaders and bring about the illustrious victories in the history of both the nation and humanity.
Thanks to the power of national unity, Vietnam has stepped up socio-economic development as well as gained outstanding achievements in all fields.
It is essential to constantly strengthen the national unity bloc based on the worker-farmer-intelligentsia alliance led by the Party.
It is also necessary to promote creativity and all resources of the people to build and protect the country as well as spirit of national pride and traditions of patriotism, humanity and tolerance in order to gather and unite all Vietnamese people both in the country and abroad, and strengthen close ties between the Party, State and people, creating new vitality of the national unity bloc.
The lessons and experience of promoting the strength of national unity should be inherited and further promoted in socio-economic development, ensuring national defence and security, and Party and government building.
