To Implement Ho Chi Minh's Ethical Standard "Loyal to the Country, Dutiful to the People": It is essential to thoroughly understand the content of patriotism in the new period; to promote national unity; to accelerate the renovation of the country, industrialization, modernization, and early transition of our country out of underdevelopment.**
Ho Chi Minh's exemplary thoughts and ethical qualities are profound patriotism, wholehearted service to the nation, and the people, devoting all energy to the cause of national liberation, unification of the country, and building socialism. His determination to "even burn the entire Truong Son mountain range to achieve freedom and independence" was to ensure "everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, and education", so that our country "stands shoulder to shoulder with world powers in five continents". By learning Ho Chi Minh's ethical thoughts, we need to:
- Each person should deeply and comprehensively understand the great sacrifices of ancestors for us to have a unified, independent, free Vietnam today. Raising patriotism and pride in the national heroic tradition is the conscience and responsibility of every true Vietnamese. Loyalty to the country today demands limitless fidelity to the cause of national construction and defense, safeguarding independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, culture, protecting the Communist Party, policies, people, and the renovation cause, defending national interests.
- Loyalty to the country, dutiful to the people today means always respecting and promoting the people's ownership in three forms: representative ownership, direct ownership, and community self-management; wholeheartedly serving the people, promptly addressing reasonable and valid requests and suggestions; overcoming indifference, apathy in the face of people's difficulties and concerns.
- Loyalty to the country, dutiful to the people today manifests in the will to rise and determination to overcome poverty, backwardness, contributing to building a prosperous nation, promptly transitioning our country out of underdevelopment, keeping pace with the developmental level of developed countries in the region and the world; realizing our beloved Uncle Ho's wish: "to build our country more dignified, more beautiful".
- Loyalty to the country, dutiful to the people requires always having the awareness to preserve the unity of the nation, unity within the Communist Party, within agencies, units; decisively fighting uncompromisingly against any scheme by hostile forces, opportunists aiming to divide the nation, divide the great unity bloc, and create a rift between the Communist Party and the people. Unity is patriotic; division is harmful to the country. Any sectarian, localist expression is against true patriotism.

A spirit of eagerness to learn, promoting the tradition of valuing education and talent from our forefathers; knowing how to creatively apply scientific and modern technological knowledge, initiatives in production, work, excellently fulfilling assigned duties. Any inertia, stagnation, laziness in learning, reluctance to work, demanding enjoyment beyond capability and contribution results is contrary to the national moral tradition and against Ho Chi Minh's patriotic ideology.
- Loyalty to the country, dutiful to the people requires us to rightly solve personal-family-collective-social relationships; relationships between obligation and benefit. Following President Ho Chi Minh's example, patriotism means readiness to strive and sacrifice for common interests, decisively doing anything beneficial for the people, the country, the collective, and decisively not doing anything harmful. Any action must first be for the collective, the country, the people, upholding leadership responsibility, avoiding greed, self-interest, personal enrichment...
2. Implementing Properly the Teaching: "Diligence, Frugality, Integrity, Righteousness, Impartiality" to Elevate the Dignity of Vietnamese People in the New Era
"Diligence, frugality, integrity, righteousness, impartiality" is a traditional ethical standard in relations "with oneself", inherited, applied, and developed by President Ho Chi Minh to meet the revolutionary cause's demands, becoming a basic standard of revolutionary ethics. He is an exemplary model of "diligence, frugality, integrity, righteousness, impartiality". Learning from his example, implementing diligence, frugality, integrity, righteousness, impartiality in the current period involves:
- Enthusiastically working, learning, and working with a spirit of creative labor, high productivity, quality, and efficiency; valuing collective and people's labor and property; avoiding extravagance, waste, ostentation, and formality; effectively using state, collective, and personal resources, materials, and capital.
- Practicing impartiality means decisively opposing individualism, utilitarian lifestyle. Leaders and party members must eschew ambition for fame, status, seizing benefits for themselves, abusing power, and authority to confiscate public property, fortune for family, personal benefit..., sectarianism, localism. Maintaining frankness, honesty, defending truth, policies, and perspectives of the Communist Party, protecting good people; being sincere and humble; not pursuing achievement-centric ideology, not concealing faults...
- Practicing diligence, frugality, integrity, righteousness, impartiality requires decisively opposing laziness, self-centeredness, saying without doing, saying much and doing little, being hypocritical, while thoughts, feelings, and actions are heavy with personal motives, self-interest, enthusiastically exploiting anything beneficial for oneself, indifferent to anything that doesn't personally benefit oneself. Avoiding sloppy, fraudulent work, draining public resources, extracting state and people's materials and money. Having a definite attitude condemning and decisively fighting against corruption, negativity, eliminating any expression of dishonor, unrighteousness from social life.
3. Enhancing Democratic Awareness and Discipline, Bonding with the People, Serving the People
President Ho Chi Minh always emphasized democracy and discipline, and he himself is an exemplary model of democratic spirit, respecting the collective, respecting the masses, always caring for everyone, staying connected with the people. He always criticized "leadership mindset", criticized "revolutionary bureaucratic" attitudes, criticized any sign of bureaucracy, contempt for the masses, contempt for the collective, violating democratic centralism, viewing them as different forms of individualism.
- Learning from him, every official, party member must place themselves within an organization, a collective, respecting principles, laws, and discipline. All forms of superficial democracy, exploiting democracy to form cliques, cause disorder of discipline, for fame, for profit, or acting arbitrarily, autocratically, above the collective, above the masses..., causing public discontent, must be condemned and excluded.
- Learning Ho Chi Minh's ethics is all for the people, every official, party member, in any position must be close to the people, learn from the people, be responsible to the people. Must be concerned and feel their own responsibility when the people are still poor. They should not only share and endure hardships with the people, but also know how to mobilize the people, promote their strength, organize, encourage, and lead people to strive to escape poverty. The people are strict yet benevolent teachers, always demanding a lot from officials and party members, while being willing to assist officials and party members in accomplishing tasks, promoting strengths, correcting mistakes, and shortcomings.
- Learning Ho Chi Minh's ethics requires valuing self-criticism and criticism. He taught officials, party members, and all of us not to fear defects, not to fear criticism, but to fear not recognizing defects, mistakes, and lacking determination to correct defects, which will lead to increasingly bigger defects and degeneration. Self-criticism must be emphasized and prioritized, following Ho Chi Minh's thoughts that "one must be strict with oneself". Criticism must aim to build organizations, build people, foster healthy, clear emotional and social relationships with reason and sentiment. We must overcome the tendency to love formality, to enjoy praise (even flattery), to flatter each other without daring to speak frankly, truthfully to help each other progress. Meanwhile, it is necessary to criticize expressions emerging from personal motivation, self-interest that lead to "infighting," using criticism as a cover for attacking, drawing factions, causing division, and internal disorder.
4. Learning and Following the Ethical Example of Ho Chi Minh Requires Promoting True Patriotism Closely Associated with Pure Internationalism, Fostering Friendship Among Nations in the Condition of Globalization, Proactively, and Positively Integrating into the International Economy.
Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on international solidarity stemmed from love for humanity, for peoples, and for the unity of humankind for the goal of liberating oppressed peoples, liberating classes, and human beings. He was the embodiment of genuine patriotism combined with pure internationalism. Because of this, the world cherished him, bestowing him the title of an outstanding cultural figure in the world, a national liberation hero, and a distinguished fighter of the international communist movement. From noble internationalism, he built a wide international solidarity of our nation with other peoples worldwide, contributing significantly to our people's great victories and the global revolutionary movement.
- Today, in the condition of globalization, expanding international solidarity, mutually beneficial cooperation, and proactive positive integration is a crucial resource for building and developing the nation. Pure international solidarity is about implementing an open foreign policy, multilateralization, and diversification in the spirit of Vietnam being willing to be a friend, a reliable partner to countries worldwide, striving for independence, peace, cooperation, and development.
- International solidarity according to Ho Chi Minh's thoughts is about promoting the spirit of independent autonomy, respecting the independence and sovereignty of other nations, expanding mutually beneficial cooperation, striving for peace, development, fighting against war, poverty, injustice, domination, and imposition in international relations. Closing past historical issues, eliminating prejudices, rancor, looking towards the future, fostering friendship among nations.
- Learning and following Ho Chi Minh's ethical thoughts and example requires raising the spirit of independent autonomy, self-reliance, steadfastly fighting against inferiority complexes and narrow-minded nationalism; criticizing any sign of lost roots, foreign dependency, unrealistic expectations from capitalism.
The cause of national renewal has posed increasingly higher demands on the formation and development of the beautiful ethical qualities of the Vietnamese people, concurrently creating new advantages and challenges for each of us in the field of ethics. Now, more than ever, our entire Communist Party and people must fully focus on ethical issues, continue building and perfecting appropriate, progressive ethical standards; promoting education, training, and strengthening ethical management within the Communist Party and the people. Inheriting the noble ethical tradition from our forefathers, learning and following Ho Chi Minh's ethical example is one of the crucial measures to overcome the ethical and lifestyle degradation among officials, party members, and people, to cleanse societal ethics, and contribute to maintaining political and social stability, creating a driving force for quick, efficient, and sustainable development. The most fundamental issue when implementing this campaign is that each one of us must fully recognize the position of ethical matters, continually self-consciously, effortfully learning, training, and cultivating according to our great Uncle Ho's example.
