Great national unity: A strategic line that has decisive significance for victory

On the morning of December 4, the Politburo and Secretariat held a national conference to study and disseminate the Resolution of the 8th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee.

At the Conference, Politburo member and President Vo Van Thuong presented Resolution No. 43-NQ/TW: "Continuing to promote the tradition and strength of great national unity, building our country to be increasingly prosperous and happy".

Emphasizing three very important reasons for the Central Committee to issue Resolution No. 43-NQ/TW, the President said that after 20 years of implementing Resolution No. 23-NQ/TW of the 9th Party Central Committee on promoting the strength of great national unity for a rich people, a strong country, a fair, democratic and civilized society, we have made progress in building, consolidating and promoting the strength of great national unity, making an important contribution to socio -economic development, constantly improving the material and spiritual life of the people. Under the leadership of the Party, the strength of great national unity has been constantly consolidated, enhanced and promoted. Social strata have changed positively, developing strongly in both quantity and quality.

The President also pointed out that after 20 years of implementing Resolution No. 23-NQ/TW, the Central Committee has unanimously assessed that there are still some limitations and shortcomings and drawn some lessons. From the reality after 20 years of implementing Resolution No. 23 and nearly 40 years of implementing the country's renovation, it can be seen that the world, regional and domestic situations have changed a lot.

According to the President, the awareness of solidarity and great solidarity has many new elements, not only in Vietnam, but also in the region and the world. "Between solidarity and division, it seems that solidarity will be stronger and develop. Lack of solidarity or worse, division will restrain development, even drag down the development of some countries," the President analyzed.

Regarding the content of Resolution No. 43-NQ/TW, President Vo Van Thuong said that the Party has fully, comprehensively and systematically approached four viewpoints, in which the position and role of national solidarity are affirmed.

The first viewpoint is that national solidarity is a precious tradition and a consistent line and strategy of the Party. This is a great source of strength and a decisive factor for victory. The important foundation of national solidarity is the alliance of the working class, the peasantry and the intelligentsia led by the Party; along with that is the close relationship between the Party and the people, and the people's trust in the Party, the State and the regime.

In addition, there is solidarity within the Party, solidarity between social classes, ethnic and religious communities, Vietnamese people at home and abroad, and between the Vietnamese people and peace-loving people in the world...

Uncle Ho said "Unity, unity, great unity/Success, success, great success" - quoting Uncle Ho's teachings, the President said that if there is unity within the Party, there will be success. If there is unity within the Party, unity among the people, there will be greater success, and if there is unity within the Party, among the people and international unity, great unity and greater success will be achieved.

Thus, the problem-posing of Resolution No. 43-NQ/TW has been broader, clarifying the connotation of great national solidarity.

The second viewpoint is to identify the common goal of the nation to promote the tradition and strength of national unity. President Vo Van Thuong shared that each person has a different way of thinking, even loving the country in their own way. But the most common point of all Vietnamese patriots is to build a prosperous and happy Vietnam, becoming a developed country with high income by 2045.

The third viewpoint, on the method to promote tradition and strength of great solidarity, in Resolution No. 43-NQ/TW states that national solidarity must be associated with promoting socialist democracy, respecting, ensuring and protecting human rights, civil rights, and the people's right to mastery in all areas of social life.

Analyzing this viewpoint, President Vo Van Thuong emphasized that if we want great solidarity, we must promote democracy. If we unite without democracy, it is "follow-the-flow" solidarity. If we unite without listening to different opinions, it is "follow-the-flow" solidarity.

"It is dangerous for the Party and the country for a lower-level cadre to listen to what his superior thinks. A cadre who attends a collective leadership meeting and keeps thinking about what the boss is saying, thinking about how he can say something appropriate is dangerous. That is one-way solidarity, solidarity in the same direction, solidarity based on cover-up, not listening to the truth. Solidarity must promote democracy. Where there is no democracy, there is no true solidarity," the President affirmed.

The President pointed out that there are still stories of meetings here and there, but it is not appropriate to see them as being frank, not having sincere exchanges, listening, analyzing, and dissecting, but discussing issues and just asking the leader what he thinks about the matter in order to make a statement that resonates with the leader's ideas.

The fourth viewpoint, according to President Vo Van Thuong, is that great unity is the cause of all people, the responsibility of the Party and the entire political system. In which, the Party plays the most important role. The Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations play a core role in gathering, uniting, and strongly promoting all resources, potentials, and creativity of the people.
