As a group of young people born and raised in the period of complete unification of the country, although they did not witness the heroic and glorious moments of their fathers, through documentary footage and historical witnesses… , our young generation has deeply felt the great historical value and meaningful lessons that the Dien Bien Phu Victory brought.
Promoting the spirit of determination to fight and victory of the Dien Bien Phu campaign, the young generation of Vietnam today needs to uphold patriotism, the spirit of independence and self-reliance, national self-respect, self-reliance, and not resignation. poor and backward, determined to overcome challenges, promote creative intelligence, dare to think and do, always associate theory with practice, imbued with the view that practice is the standard of truth, always adhere to observe reality, properly analyze new developments in the world and domestic situation to summarize reality and develop theoretical creativity. When reality has changed, the goal of building the country toward socialism for rich people, a strong country, and a fair, democratic, and civilized society remains firm, but resolutely changes and supplements new policies. Strategies, policies, and measures are no longer appropriate and ineffective even though there are issues that have been turned into decisions and resolutions. Not subjective, willful, not dogmatically conservative, stopping at old, outdated perceptions and opinions. Only then can we bring the cause of innovation to victory, continuing to write the heroic history of our nation in the current context.
Along with that is the will, faith, and desire to rise and build a prosperous and strong country. Turn determination into action, successfully carry out the cause of innovation, build a Government and state administrative system with integrity, create, act and serve, create a favorable investment and business environment, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development and the process of international integration, quickly bringing our country on par with the powers of five continents as Uncle Ho advised in the past.
To do that, the younger generation must practice talent, live with ideals, be responsible, and be determined to overcome all difficulties and challenges with the will and strength of following the example of the previous generation. Devote your best to the work of economic and social construction, making your homeland more rich, beautiful, prosperous and happy.
No matter what position we hold, each of us young people today must always be aware that our ancestors have shed so much blood to expel foreign invaders from our borders, it is our duty. is to protect peace, national independence and sovereignty, overcome poverty and backwardness, and rise to the regional and world level. In the international context, the regional and domestic situation still has many potentially complicated factors, hostile forces still refuse to give up plotting to sabotage our country’s independence and autonomy. In order to preserve and promote the achievements left by our ancestors, each young person needs to strive to constantly study, practice, improve political bravery, maintain an ideological stance, condemn and protest. refute false information and distortions of the country’s historical truth in general and the truth of the Dien Bien Phu Victory in particular by hostile forces.
We believe that under the Party’s leadership, our people, including today’s youth, will worthyly continue the traditions of their ancestors, upholding the revolutionary spirit of daring to think, daring to do, and being creative. to have brilliant successes in the cause of innovation, construction and defense of the Fatherland.
