Exhibition on CPV National Congresses Opens in Hanoi

Hanoi, The Gulf Observer: An exhibition highlighting the history of the national congresses of the Communist Party of Việtnam (CPV) officially opened in Hànội on Friday, offering the public a comprehensive overview of the Party’s development and its leadership role throughout the nation’s modern history.

The event is jointly organised by the Office of the Party Central Committee and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Party General Secretary Tô Lâm, along with senior Party and State leaders, attended the opening ceremony, cut the ribbon, and toured the exhibition.

More than 200 documents, photographs, and artefacts are on display, including a number of materials made public for the first time. The exhibition is designed to provide Party members and the wider public—particularly younger generations—with deeper insights into the Party’s national congresses, as well as the major victories and achievements attained by the country and its people under the Party’s leadership.

Addressing the opening ceremony, Phạm Gia Túc, a member of the Party Central Committee and Chief of the Office of the Party Central Committee, underscored the historical significance of the founding conference of the CPV in February 1930, convened by leader Nguyễn Ái Quốc, later President Hồ Chí Minh. He noted that the event marked a decisive turning point in Việt Nam’s history, ending the crisis over the path to national salvation and opening a new era of struggle for national independence along the path of proletarian revolution. Since its establishment, the CPV has held 13 national congresses and is currently preparing for its 14th.

Writing in the exhibition’s guest book, Party General Secretary Tô Lâm said the carefully preserved documents, images, and artefacts vividly retrace the Party’s journey—from its early years marked by sacrifice and hardship, through steadfast struggles for national independence and liberation, to its confident leadership in building, defending, reforming, and developing the country today.

He stressed that throughout the nation’s history, the CPV has remained a pioneering force and a standard-bearer of the working class and working people of Việtnam, as well as of progressive forces worldwide. The Party, he noted, has consistently upheld its revolutionary ideals while continuously reforming and rectifying itself to fulfil its mission of leading the people and the nation.

On the eve of the 14th National Party Congress, the exhibition serves as a reminder to strengthen faith, ignite aspirations, and propel the country towards stronger development, prosperity, happiness, and lasting vitality for the benefit of the people and the nation, the Party leader wrote.
