Interms of theory, the affirmation of the Party’s leadership is crucialand obvious, while objective and suitable to the popular trend in theworld currently.
Today, political parties havebecome popular across the globe, playing an important role in sociallife and an indispensable factor in the political life of almost allcountries around the world, he pointed out.
In theirconstitutions, many countries also define political party matter. Forinstance, the constitutions of Turkey , Ukraine and Poland gavetwo articles to clarify the issue. Those of Switzerland , the Republicof Korea , Germany and China also give space to the subject, headded.
Particularly, the constitutions ofSwitzerland , the Republic of Korea and Germany highlight thatthe establishment of political parties is vital in showing the opinions,aspirations and political awareness of the people.
The documents also promulgate principles, regulations and methods ofsetting up political parties, as well as their organisation andoperation. Applying a single-party or multi-party system totally dependson the real situation and development period of each country, he said.
Regarding its practical basis, Thong said theleadership role of the CPV has been shown in the country’s revolutionand is widely recognised by the people.

Thong underscored that the CPV has initiated and directed the country’s comprehensive renewal cause.
It helped the country successfully overcome the socio-economicrecession during the 1980s to take stable steps on its path of nationalindustrialisation and modernisation and international integration, with aview to basically becoming an industrial country by 2020 and a modernsocialist-orientated country by the middle of the 21 st century, hecited.
The CPV’s political will and capacity arerecognised by Vietnamese people who acknowledge that it is the onlyruling party and do not accept pluralism or a multi-party regime.
The overwhelming majority of Vietnamese put their trust in the Partyand hope that it can reshuffle itself, overcoming all shortcomings andweaknesses to fulfil its historic mission of leading the State andsociety.
The Party has also determined torestructure itself, improving its purity and strength to become “a Partyof morality and civilisation” following the guidance of President HoChi Minh, thus consolidating the belief of people, Thong said.
