The establishment of the Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV) 85 years ago is an important milestone in the fate of Viet Nam.

The Party was formed at a conference from February 3-7, 1930 in Kowloon, China’s Hong Kong, during which the Communist Party of Indochina, the Communist Party of Annam, and the League of Indochinese Communists merged to form a single party, the CPV.

The CPV led the successful August Revolution and then defended the first People’s Democratic Government in Southeast Asia.

The 2 resistance wars to defend the country against aggressive colonists and imperialists were marked by the glorious triumphs on the Dien Bien Phu battlefield and the Ho Chi Minh Campaign in April 1975, reunifying the country and opening a new era of independence, freedom, and socialism for the nation of Viet Nam.

Significant achievements were seen in the development and defence of the nation, creating a socialist country of the people, for the people, and by the people. The Party has led the efforts in developing a socialist-oriented market economy.

The country’s economy rose out of crisis and made strong steps forward, improving the living conditions of the people. Fruitful outcomes of the “doi moi” (reform) process created new strength and status for Viet Nam.

Over recent years, the country has actively joined regional and international forums and organisations, becoming a member of the World Trade Organisation, performing well its role as a non-permanent member of the United Nations, and contributing tireless efforts towards building an ASEAN Community.

All the victories in Viet Nam’s revolution over the past 85 years vividly reflect the incredible strength of the nation, which was brought into full play by the sound leadership from the CPV.
