INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF VIETNAM CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Dear members of the Party Central Committee,
Dear delegates attending the meeting,
First and foremost, I sincerely thank the Political Bureau for your trust and nomination, and members of the Party Central Committee for your confidence in electing and entrusting me with the great responsibility of the General Secretary of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam. This is a tremendous honor, and simultaneously, a great responsibility before the Party, the people, the thousand-year-old illustrious history of the nation, and the cause of building and defending the socialist Fatherland in the new era.
I promise before the Party Central Committee, our entire Party, people, and army to tirelessly strive, together with the members of the Party Central Committee, to inherit and vigorously promote the glorious traditions and valuable experiences of our Party and the achievements of National Party Congresses, including the 13th National Party Congress; uphold the highest spirit of "self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-strengthening, and national pride"; continually strengthen unity and solidarity within the Party and the great national unity; continue to step up the Party building and rectification, and prevent and combat corruption and negative phenomena; align the thought with the action, the Party's will with the people's hearts; and dedicate fully and wholeheartedly to, strive and sacrifice for a strong Communist Party of Vietnam; for a strong, democratic, just, and civilized Vietnam; and for well-off and happy Vietnamese people. I will focus on effectively leading the review of 40 years of national renewal and preparations to successfully organize the 14th National Party Congress, inheriting the important theoretical achievements on socialism and the path to socialism in Vietnam, as summarized by generations of Party leaders, including General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, to propose the correct policies and continue to lead the country towards comprehensive development in the coming period.
I firmly believe that the 13th Party Central Committee will be a steadfast and strong collective and a nucleus that gathers the strength and leads our entire Party, people, and army to successfully implement the Party’s guidelines and policies, firstly the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goals of the country 100 years under the Party’s leadership, 100 years since the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, with the aim of making the country a socialist-oriented developed nation by the mid-21st century. The recent changes in the Party have contributed to strengthening the Party's strength, consolidating unity and consensus, and improving the effectiveness, efficiency, and the people's trust in the Party.
I expects to continue receiving close coordination from members of the Party Central Committee so that I can well fulfill my assigned tasks. There are many difficulties and challenges on the journey ahead, but with the unity, consensus, and the promotion of the Party’s wisdom, mettle, and strong, correct, and sound decisions, we firmly believe that our country will become increasingly prosperous, our people will enjoy greater well-being and happiness, and our nation will grow stronger and steadily advance towards socialism.
Once again, I sincerely and deeply thank the Party Central Committee and the entire Party for entrusting me with this great responsibility.
I wish all comrades good health, happiness, and success. Thank you very much!
