Khamvisanh Keosouvanh, Assistant to the Chairman of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) Central Committee’s Commission for Propaganda and Training, made the remarks in an article sent to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)’s correspondents.

Khamvisanh said the Vietnamese Party leader’s article matches the real development of Vietnam and the world.

He explained that the article was published following the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), and before the elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and all-level People’s Councils for the 2021-2026 tenure.

Therefore, according to the official, it has helped Vietnamese leaders prepare personnel to implement the Resolution adopted at the 13th National Party Congress with new opportunities and challenges.

Party General Secretary Trong’s affirmation that socialism is the goal and ideal of the CPV and Vietnamese people, and that advancing towards socialism is an objective demand of and the inevitable path of the Vietnamese revolution demonstrates the CPV's absolute confidence and loyalty to Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought in the cause of national construction and development towards socialism.

The view on the development of the socialist-oriented market economy is a very basic and creative theoretical breakthrough of the CPV, Khamvisanh said.

The article set out an epochal strategic direction on socialism and Vietnam’s path towards socialism, he continued, adding that the Vietnamese Party chief has creatively applied Marxism-Leninism in Vietnam’s real situation. The article is also a new theoretical review of the CPV, helping to diversify and enrich theoretical treasures of socialism in the world.

According to Khamvisanh, the LPRP would learn from the CPV’s leadership experience in the cause of national construction and development towards socialism to realise the resolution adopted at the 11th National Congress of the LPRP.
