Primary role and central position of the people in national development strategies based on the 13th Party Congress
Abstract: Thanks to gathering and organizing a large number of people at home and abroad as well as being fully trusted by the people who were ready to sacrifice to protect the Party and realize the Party's ideals, the Communist Party of Vietnam successfully led the national-democratic revolution, regained, defended, and firmly consolidated the national independence, reunited the nation and built the people's democracy. A new and key point in the Documents of the 13th Party Congress is to consistently maintain the perspective of “people as the roots”, which means they play a fundamental role. People are simultaneously in the “central position” that has widespread impact on all different fields, forces and organizations. The documents affirm, deepen and concretize the concept of “people as the nation’s masters” along with several new rights, identifying the people’s role as “primary subjects”. Accordingly, people exercising their rights as national masters is an important condition for them to maintain and promote their role as primary subjects in the revolution.

Firmly maintaining the Party's close bond with the people, ensuring the Party's endless and supreme strength
Abstract: The intimate connection between the Party and the people is a rule governing the Party's existence, development, and operations. It is the source of the Party's internal strength and guarantees the Party's sole leadership role in Vietnam. Also, it is one of the five principles of organization and operation of the Party. Recognizing the importance of this principle, hostile forces always seek ways to distort the principles, exaggerate, ridicule, undermine the Party, aiming to divide the Party from the people. They provoke, separate the people from the Party's leadership, making the people distant from the Party, lose trust, and even oppose the Party. It is necessary to identify the wrong tactics of hostile forces regarding the Party principle intimately linked with the people, thereby employing countermeasures, resolutely maintaining the principles, ensuring the boundless, invincible strength of the Party.
