The event took place on the occasion of the 96th anniversary of the Party’s founding (3 February 1930 – 3 February 2026). On behalf of the Party and State leadership, Permanent Member of the Party Secretariat Tran Cam Tu presented the badge and flowers to General Secretary To Lam.

A half-century of loyalty and service

Speaking at the event, Tran Cam Tu emphasized the profound significance of this recognition. It marks nearly half a century of unwavering dedication, self-discipline, and relentless contributions by General Secretary To Lam to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.

Throughout his 45 years as a Party member, Mr. To Lam has held various key roles, from grassroots positions to the highest leadership in the Party and State.

In every position and circumstance, he has consistently demonstrated firm political resolve, absolute loyalty to the Party’s ideals, and wholehearted service to the people. He remains committed to Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh’s thought, national independence, and socialism - embodying the moral integrity, fighting spirit, and exemplary role of a true Party member.

A unifying figure at the helm of Party leadership

As General Secretary, Mr. To Lam has played a central role in building Party unity, aligning the will and action of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat. Under his leadership, the Party has achieved significant milestones in national development.

He is recognized for his strategic vision, bold thinking, and decisive actions - particularly in reshaping Vietnam’s political-administrative system toward a “lean, effective, and efficient” model. This reform has been implemented in a coordinated, stable manner and has earned broad public support.

Throughout his tenure, Mr. To Lam has placed citizens at the heart of policymaking. He views the happiness of the people as the highest goal of the Party’s mission.

People-centered policies and care for the vulnerable

Social welfare, education, healthcare, and support for children, vulnerable groups, and those with meritorious service have received his particular attention. His strong, timely direction has helped deliver impactful results in these areas.

Following the successful 14th National Party Congress, seen as a critical turning point for Vietnam’s sustainable development, Mr. To Lam has continued guiding the Party’s evolution with intellectual depth and a firm grip on both theory and practice.

He and the Party Central Committee have led the development of innovative, scientifically grounded documents outlining a clear roadmap for national progress in a new era.
