The Congress agreed on and confirmed its determination to successfully implement the goals: “To strengthen the building of a healthy and strong Party; promote the power of the whole nation and the socialist democracy; comprehensively enhance the renewal cause; firmly safeguard the Fatherland, maintain a peaceful and stable environment; and strive to develop Vietnam into a modern industrialized country.”

The Congress democratically elected the Central Party Committee with competent members of virtue and with an innovative spirit to shoulder the responsibility entrusted by the Party, State, and people.

The Congress affirmed the strengthening of the working class nature and the leading role of the Party as a party in power, focusing on building a really healthy and strong Party in political, ideological, organizational and ethical terms. Improving the leadership and combat capabilities of the Party is the key task, which is vital for the entire Party and the revolutionary cause of our people. Learning and following the moral example of President Ho Chi Minh should be promoted to push back political, ideological, and ethical degradation, “self-evolution”, “self-transformation”, bureaucracy, corruption, wastefulness, sectarianism, etc. These are important factors to strengthen solidarity and unity within the Party, foster the close relationship between the people and the Party, and enhance people’s confidence in the Party.

Especially, the Congress has defined two strategic missions of national construction and Fatherland safeguarding, stressing that firmly defending national independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity and protecting the Party, State, people, and socialism in Vietnam are interrelated. The key mission of the Party, the State, the political system, and the people is to maintain the environment of peace and stability for the country's development, with the People's Army and the People's Police playing the core role.

The Vietnam People’s Army, honorably founded and trained by the Party and Uncle Ho and wholeheartedly loved and cared for by the people, vows to absolutely be loyal to the Party, State and people, making every effort to fulfill its functions and unite as one, together with the whole Party and people to successfully implement the Resolutions of the 12^th National Party Congress.

The success of the 12^th National Party Congress has also contributed to increasing the prestige and position of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the country in the international arena.

The 12^th National Party Congress has successfully completed its historical task to open up a new path, marking a milestone in the renewal process of the entire nation under the leadership of the Party. The success of the Congress has shown the will and aspiration of the whole Party, people and armed forces, promoted patriotism, a sense of self-reliance and national strength, and comprehensively boosted the renewal process, striving to develop Vietnam into a modern industrialized country, as outlined in the documents of the 12^th National Party Congress.

To effectively bring the Resolution of the 12^th National Party Congress to life, after the Congress, Party committees and Party organizations at all levels should extensively and intensively disseminate the results of the Congress, closely grasp and introduce the Resolution and documents of the Congress so as to motivate the entire Party, people and armed forces to boost emulation movements in the national construction and safeguarding cause in the new period, heading for the goal of prosperous people, a strong country, democracy, equality, civilization and socialism.
