Upholding great national unity bloc is key solution to bring nation into new era: Top leader
Party General Secretary and State President To Lam stressed the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) should serve as the nucleus in protecting the Party's ideological foundation, actively combating erroneous and hostile viewpoints, while addressing the 10th National Congress of the VFF in Hanoi on October 17.
The top leader said over the past 94 years, the VFF has grown stronger, affirming its role and mission in promoting the national tradition and the strength of great national unity. It has encouraged people to actively participate in patriotic movements, harnessing resources and creativity, and contributing to the successful implementation of the country's strategic tasks throughout historical periods, he said.

Party General Secretary and President To Lam acknowledged and lauded the performance of VFF Committees at all levels and commended people from all strata of society for their strong spirit of patriotism and solidarity, response, support and efforts in implementing the Party's guidelines and the State's policies and laws, significantly contributing the country's important and turning-point achievements over the past years.
The leader underscored that it is the responsibility of the whole Party, people, and army, with the VFF playing the core role, to strongly inspire patriotism, the desire to make contributions, the spirit of self-reliance and confidence, as well as national pride, promoting the great strength from the great national solidarity bloc and combining the national strength with that of the era, thus fulfilling all targets.
Basically agreeing with the orientations, goals, and the action plan for the next tenure stated in the congress’ political report, Party General Secretary and State President Lam pointed to the need to reach consensus on the position and special significance of the great national solidarity bloc as well as the urgent requirement and top priority to reinforce and promote it under the leadership of the Party. This is one of the key solutions to bring the nation into the new era, he stressed.
The leader said that in the current period, the Front should strongly perform its key role and coordination with its member organisations to unite all classes and outstanding individuals, promoting the vanguard role of the working class, awakening the great potential of the peasants, intellectuals, and workers, ensuring high a consensus in perception, ideology and action, firmly adhering to the socialist goals and ideology, proactively carrying out people diplomacy activities, resolutely protecting national independence and sovereignty, and political and social stability, and building an increasingly prosperous and happy country.
He reminded the Front and its member organisations to show stronger performance in communications and education to make sure that all people understand, support, and implement the orientations and policy and laws of the Party and the State, clearly recognising the plots and tricks of hostile and reactionary forces to distort, drive a wedge into, and undermine the great national solidarity bloc. The Front must be the nucleus in protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints, he added.
The congress also saw the attendance of Politburo members: Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, and Permanent member of the Party Central Committee's Secretariat Luong Cuong, among others.
The three-day congress, themed "Solidarity - Democracy - Innovation - Creativity – Development”, have brought together a total of 1,052 delegates representing various classes, ethnic groups, religions, armed forces, overseas Vietnamese, and VFF officials at all levels.
