Mexico (VNA) – General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong’s article “Several theoretical and practical issues onsocialism and the pathway toward socialism in Vietnam” has proven that building socialism is a sound decision suitable with reality in the country by the CPV, said General Secretary of the Mexican Labour Party Alberto Ayana Gutiérrez.
In aninterview recently granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s resident correspondent in Mexico, Gutiérrez said theVietnamese revolution’s glorious victories over the past more than 90 years are the result of many factors, including the CPV’s political platforms, soundpolicies and guidelines based on creatively applying Marxism-Leninism and HoChi Minh's thought in Vietnam’s reality, inheriting and upholding traditionalvalues, cultural quintessence of humanity and loyal solidarity under the CPV’sleadership.
Accordingto the official, Vietnam is now not only known for its tradition of patriotism andfighting foreign invaders to regain its independence and freedom, but also its successes on the path of national construction and development, with increasingly improved role andposition in the international arena.
HighlightingVietnam’s achievements in developing a socialist-oriented marketeconomy since its Doi moi (renewal) process began in 1986, Gutiérrez said the Southeast Asian country has made boldsteps towards socialism with significant strides recorded in the cause of national industrialisation,agriculture, infrastructure development and social policies.
On the path towards socialism with the goal of a strong country, wealthy people, and a democratic, fair and civilised society,Vietnam needs to grasp opportunities at home and abroad the develop the nation,he suggested.
The leaderalso expressed his belief that Vietnam’s past achievements together withinitiatives in real life and theory that the CPV has put forward will lay a solid foundation toensure Vietnam’s new successes in the process of building socialism./.
