The success of the 12^th Party Congress has generated a new vital force across society, gathered and promoted the strength of the great national unity, mobilizing all Vietnamese people to strive to successfully fulfill the two strategic missions: building and firmly protecting the Fatherland of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the sake of prosperous people, a powerful country and a democratic, equal and civilized society.

The Politburo’s directive on studying, popularizing and implementing the Resolution of the 12^th Party Congress will create a national-scale political drive of special importance and significance. This aims to raise public awareness of the nation’s missions and objectives as well as the national development directions in the 2016-2020 period and beyond; unite the spirit and action in the Party; and promote consensus among people. Via studying, popularizing and implementing the Resolution of the 12^th Party Congress, people can understand the Party’s policies and solutions and then turn them into revolutionary movements, building and protecting the Fatherland of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In the newly-issued directive, the Politburo articulates: studying, popularizing and implementing the Resolution of the 12^th Party Congress is a central task in 2016. Party organizations at all levels must organize the political drive in a practical and effective manner so that every cadre, particularly key position holders, must grasp and execute the Resolution creatively and correctly in accordance with the situations and factual conditions of each unit, agency and locality.

To study, popularize and implement the Resolution successfully, Party committees, especially the secretaries, at all levels should comprehend the major contents of the Documents and Resolution of the 12^th Party Congress. From the good comprehension of the documents, Party committees should draw up appropriate and feasible action plans, clarifying critical issues, central tasks, prioritized areas and concrete policies, approaches and steps to implement tasks. This requires the sufficient ability and responsibility of members of Party committees at all levels. Particularly, they should fully understand that the building of a good action plan to implement the 12^th Party Congress’s Resolution is a crucial political task.

Party committees also increase checks and inspections of the implementation of the 12^th Party Congress’s Resolution of their subordinate Party organizations as well as Party members. They should commend and multiply good examples as well as redress mistakes and bad performances on time.

What is more, Party committees at all levels should conduct the political drive of studying, popularizing and implementing the 12^th Party Congress in association with the execution of the fourth Resolution of the 11^th Party Central Committee on Party building and Directive 03 of the Politburo of the 11^th Party Central Committee, on further learning and following Ho Chi Minh’s moral example. It can be said that Party committees’ successful implementation of the resolution and directive will increase people’s trust in the Party’s leadership, the Party’s guidelines and the political system, which will help facilitate the organization of the political drive and contribute to the success of the implementation of the drive.

The Communist Party of Vietnam was founded by President Ho Chi Minh. Over the past 86 years, the Party has experienced numerous difficulties and challenges in its path of self-building, maturing and its leadership of the nation. The Party has successfully held the 12^th National Party Congress and issued comprehensive resolutions. The Resolution of the 12^th National Party Congress consists of the directions, solutions and approaches to build and firmly protect the country in the 2016-2020 period and beyond. Therefore, studying, popularizing and implementing the 12^th National Party Congress’s Resolution is seen as the precondition to building a strong and clean Party and developing a powerful country and prosperous nation. It is the responsibility of Party committees and secretaries at all levels, and all Party members to organize and participate in the drive of studying, popularizing and implementing the 12^th National Party Congress’s Resolution, draw up appropriate and good action plans, and bring the resolution to life.

Since its birth on December 22nd 1945, the Vietnam People’s Army has always been under the leadership of the Party. The Military Party organization is part of the Party and under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission and the Party Central Committee. Therefore, it is no doubt, the military should have the responsibility to study, popularize and implement the 12^th National Party Congress’s Resolution. Indeed, conducting the political drive will help the military better accomplish its core mission of firmly protecting national sovereignty, preserving a peaceful and stable environment for national socio-economic development in the 2016-2020 period and the following years.
