He affirmed that in the new historical period, the country has made inclusive achievements in maintaining independence, national sovereignty, territorial integrity and socialism orientation, as well as the leadership of the Party and the State management, ensuring a peaceful and stable environment and security for national development.

The President underlined the significance of promoting the national great unity as well as the role of the Party as the leading factor deciding the success of the Vietnamese revolution.

He pointed out the need to build a strong and incorruptible political system and reinforce and strengthen the national great unity bloc as well as the promotion of national strengths in all fields.

The President asked media agencies to continue to help raise public awareness of the responsibility to protect the nation and inspire patriotism and a revolutionary spirit among the community, especially youngsters.
