In the article, General Secretary To Lam affirmed that President Ho Chi Minh’s great revolutionary career left an invaluable legacy. He was not only a great leader in Vietnam’s national liberation, but also laid a solid foundation for Vietnam’s future through his noble ideology and exemplary morality. At the heart of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought lies the aspiration for national independence associated with socialism, for the ultimate goal of bringing freedom, prosperity, and happiness to the people. The virtues of “diligence, thrift, integrity, uprightness, impartiality” that he promoted have become guiding standards for every Vietnamese citizen to follow.
General Secretary To Lam emphasized that President Ho Chi Minh is not only remembered and revered by the Vietnamese people, but also by peace-loving and progressive individuals around the world. He is widely respected as a symbol of peace, freedom, and national liberation. His ideological legacy played a powerful role in inspiring global movements against colonialism and imperialism, while encouraging efforts to build a more just and humane world.
The General Secretary affirmed that more than half a century after President Ho Chi Minh’s passing, his thoughts and moral example continue to illuminate the path forward, guiding the Vietnamese people to achieve great and historically significant accomplishments. Today, Ho Chi Minh’s ideological imprint remains deeply rooted across all spheres, economic development, social progress, education, healthcare, national defense, security, and foreign relations, creating a foundation for national construction and defense in the new era.
The ideology, morality, and style of President Ho Chi Minh not only illuminate the past, but also serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the present and future. The national development strategies and plans through 2030, with a vision to 2045, all center on the goal of building a nation that is “prosperous, strong, democratic, equitable, and civilized.” This vision echoes President Ho Chi Minh’s lifelong wish for a peaceful, unified, and thriving Vietnam.
In his article, General Secretary To Lam underscored that Ho Chi Minh’s moral example and lifestyle will forever remain a torch lighting the way for every Vietnamese person to follow in their self-cultivation and personal growth. For younger generations in particular, President Ho Chi Minh continues to be a shining example of patriotism, self-reliance, and a strong will to contribute to the nation’s progress.
According to General Secretary To Lam, the Vietnamese Party and State remain firmly committed to advancing along the socialist path chosen by President Ho Chi Minh. At the same time, they are determined to implement strategic breakthroughs to bring about substantial progress in this new period. Every step in the country’s transformation is driven by the aspiration to fulfill President Ho Chi Minh’s dream of building a Vietnam “ten times more beautiful” and “on par with the great powers of the five continents.”
To realize that vision, General Secretary To Lam emphasized, every cadre, Party member, and Vietnamese citizen must constantly strive to improve, to unite, and to act together toward the common goal. The strength of great national unity, guided by Ho Chi Minh’s thought, will remain a boundless source of energy, enabling Vietnam to overcome every challenge and achieve continued success on the path of innovation, integration, and sustainable development.
