The Government Information Agency respectfully presents the article: "General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng - A Leading Figure Dedicated to the Nation and the People" by General Tô Lâm, Member of the Politburo and President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:

"General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng, a towering intellect and talent of the Vietnamese revolution, a thinker, cultural figure, and a theoretical leader of the Party, has devoted his entire life to the revolutionary cause of our Party and nation. He has lived a life fully dedicated to the country and the people.

With over 55 years of continuous activity, shaped by revolutionary practice, and armed with strategic vision and sharp thinking, General Nguyễn Phú Trọng has worked with the Central Committee to creatively apply and develop Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought. He has tirelessly worked to build a cleaner, stronger Party and a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, and for the people. He has overseen the successful implementation of the renewal policies, ensuring our country enjoys unprecedented strength, resources, and international prestige.

Throughout his revolutionary career, the work of the Party and its building has held a particularly important place for General Nguyễn Phú Trọng. By creatively applying Ho Chi Minh Thought on Party building, he has deepened the understanding of the Party's nature and its role in the country's renewal, and led the successful execution of strategic policies to build and rectify the Party. He has steadfastly fought against individualism, decay, corruption, and negativity within the Party, while also continuously fostering revolutionary ethics, intellectual capabilities, and a close connection with the people. Under his leadership, the Party has demonstrated its resolve and intellect, achieving significant successes in national renewal and overcoming hostile forces’ schemes, thereby building a truly moral and civilized society.

In his roles as President of the National Assembly and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, General Nguyễn Phú Trọng has consistently been concerned with the establishment of a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, and for the people. Under his leadership, the Party issued resolutions to continue building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law state in a new phase, with the goal of creating a comprehensive, law-abiding system that effectively protects human rights and ensures state power is unified, clearly divided, and effectively controlled. The aim is to have a modern, efficient, and clean state apparatus with a professional and ethical civil service, and to modernize national governance to meet the requirements of rapid, sustainable development, making Vietnam a developed nation with high income by 2045.

Deeply understanding Ho Chi Minh’s thoughts and the crucial role of culture, General Nguyễn Phú Trọng, an outstanding cultural leader, has devoted considerable effort to building a progressive culture rich in national characteristics. This culture forms the spiritual foundation of society and is a key driver of national development. Under his leadership, the Party’s XIII Congress documents thoroughly addressed cultural issues, and the National Conference on Culture marked a milestone in connecting the Party’s thought and action, emphasizing the role of culture in the nation’s development and defense.

With profound political insight and strategic thinking, General Nguyễn Phú Trọng, along with the Central Committee, has advanced Vietnam’s foreign policy, formulating the “bamboo diplomacy” and building an external policy with distinctive Vietnamese characteristics. This diplomacy has led to significant historical shifts in Vietnam’s relations with major partners and has strengthened Vietnam's role as a reliable and proactive international partner. The nation’s international prestige and integration into the global economy and political landscape have reached new heights under his leadership.

During his time as President, Commander-in-Chief, and head of the armed forces, General Nguyễn Phú Trọng paid great attention to the military and police forces, focusing on their strength, unity, and close ties with the people. He emphasized the importance of adhering to Ho Chi Minh’s thoughts, serving the nation and people wholeheartedly, and ensuring that the armed forces remain clean, strong, and effective.

Throughout his life, General Nguyễn Phú Trọng has exemplified unwavering dedication to the revolutionary cause with a steel will, never backing down from obstacles or difficulties. He has demonstrated a remarkable character, valuing honor as the highest ideal and living a life entirely for the country and the people. His exemplary conduct, simple lifestyle, democratic working style, and respect for and love for people have earned him the respect and trust of Party members, the people, and international friends.

We are confident that under the Party’s leadership, steadfast in applying and developing Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought, and committed to socialist principles and Party-building principles, our entire Party, people, and armed forces will unite, seize opportunities, overcome challenges, and develop the Party and political system into a truly clean and strong entity. This will pave the way for Vietnam to achieve rapid and sustainable development, secure our nation, and realize our goal of becoming a developed, high-income country by 2045."
