Hanoi (VNA) – The Su that (Truth) National Political Publishing House on October 15 launched a digital bookshelf on late General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong, who passed away in July after spending nearly 57 years as a Party member and 14 years as the Party chief.
In his remarks at the launch in Hanoi, Politburo member and Permanent Member of the CPV Central Committee’s Secretariat Luong Cuong highlighted the late leader as an exceptional figure who made significant contributions to the cause of building and defending the socialist Vietnam.
Cuong said the legacy he left behind offers profound insights into the Doi moi (Renewal) policy, socialism, and the path toward socialism, as well as the importance of applying theory to practical leadership. His practices, observations, and experiences were distilled into theoretical frameworks that helped perfect the Party’s theoretical system on Doi moi. His work reaffirms the Party's leadership as the primary force driving Vietnam's revolutionary success.
Saying that the example set by the late leader serves as a powerful inspiration for Party members and the public alike, Cuong called upon the CPV Central Committee's Commission for Information and Education and other relevant agencies to closely collaborate with the publishing house to effectively promote and bring into play the digital bookshelf.
Associate Professor, Dr Vu Trong Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of the publishing house, said the digital book collection is a comprehensive platform powered by modern technology, designed to support the research and study demand of Party members, citizens, and international friends. It features 66 publications, including 46 books from the publishing house and 20 from other publishers.
The collection is systematically organised into two parts, with the first containing books authored by Nguyen Phu Trong throughout his career and the second consisting of works about him. Notably, it also covers a digital condolence book, preserving heartfelt messages from citizens and international friends on his passing.
Its launch not only honours the significant contributions by the late Party chief but also provides a ♌valuable platform for disseminating his important ideological and theoretical legacy for future generations, Lam said./.
Before his political career, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong spent over 28 years at Hoc Tap Magazine (now Cong San Magazine), the Communist Party of Vietnam’s theoretical journal.
Holding numerous important positions assigned by the Party and the State, including Chairman of the National Assembly during the 11th and 12th tenures, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong provided comprehensive, objective, and profound guidance on the organisation and activities of the legislative body. He also directed innovations to ensure that the legislative body stands strong and operates effectively, truly deserving to be "the representative of the people's will and aspirations."
Overseas Vietnamese, those from Vietnamese associations and organisations, international agencies and foreigners and locals in many countries came to Vietnam's diplomatic missions abroad to pay respects for General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong on July 25 and 26.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).

The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.

New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.

Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
