Abstract

The “era of national rise” as a new developmental strategy, mentioned and strongly advocated in the spiritual life of Vietnamese society today, is a period of breakthrough development, bold institutional reform of the country, towards the goal of becoming a developed and high-income country “on par with the great powers”. The strategy is determined to start from the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 2026, an ideology that is inseparable from the role of General Secretary To Lam. The article reviews the impressive milestones that the General Secretary has presented at domestic and international forums, the core contents, important goals, “foundations for positioning”, policies and strategic solutions to realize it. Scientific issues which require further studies are also mentioned, to clarify the implications of the strategic ideology of “the era of rising” so as to actively contribute to the cause of national construction, development and defense in the coming period.
