Ho Chi Minh’s thought on building the Army with “politics being taken as the roots” – significance and practical values
Thursday, December 28, 2023, 14:45 (GMT+7)
Ho Chi Minh’s thought on building the Army with “politics being taken as the roots” laid a scientific and revolutionary theoretical foundation for building our VPA at its very onset. Focusing on building the Army in terms of politics is the fundamental, consistent issue in Ho Chi Minh’s military ideology and doctrine. The robust development of the force organisation and military operations of an army ready for combat in close association with an army ready for work and for production proves Ho Chi Minh’s discernment of the crucial importance of politics to the vitality and strength of a revolutionary army.

The relationship has become a precious tradition, which instills the image of “Uncle Ho’s Soldiers” in the people’s hearts

The Party’s unique leadership over the Military

The leadership by a Communist Party over the Military represents a fundamental principle of the working class for the building of a new-style army. The leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) over the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) has been an undeniable practice since the latter’s inception. Nevertheless, the hostile forces have put the removal of our Party’s leadership over the VPA at the forefront of their “peaceful evolution” strategy

Governing, leading role of the Communist Party of Viet Nam: Achievements and vision
Thursday, December 24, 2020, 09:47 (GMT+7)
As a founder and trainer of our Party, President Ho Chi Minh paid special attention to Party building under the condition that the Party was in power. The concept of ruling Communist Party was first introduced by him to affirm that “our Party is a ruling party”, the only party in the political system exercising political power and leadership of state since 1945 when the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam came into being. As for our people, “ruling party” means “leading party.” The Party assumes authority and controls state power. The Party is embodied in the State and nation.
