The Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) has played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's history, said Prof. Pan Jin'e, a member of the Research Institute of Marxism under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. From national liberation to socialism construction, the CPV has been the backbone of Vietnam's resistance against colonial and imperialist forces, leading the nation to full independence through armed struggle. Following national reunification, the CPV transformed from a revolutionary party into a ruling one, carving out a socialist development path tailored to Vietnam's conditions. The CPV has also focused on improving living standards, driven by investments in universal education, nationwide health insurance, and rural infrastructure, making Vietnam one of the world's happiest nations, according to global indices.
