    In 2009, thanks to the efforts of the entire Party, army and people, our country gradually surmounted dificulities and negative impacts caused by the global financial crisis, natural disasters and diseases and continued obtaining great achievements in all aspects of politics, economy, culture, society and security and national defense. Increasingly, Vietnam’s status in the world has been raised. This victory once again affirms the strength of the great national unity bloc, the correctness of the Party and the State’s policies and the inner strength of our country.

    The clock is going to strike twelve. The New Year of the Tiger is coming. I would like to give my best wishes to all compatriots, comrades and soldiers all over the country and all overseas Vietnamese as well. I would like to extend my wishes for peace, friendship, cooperation and development to all nations in the world. The State and the People of Vietnam thank all nations and international organizations sincerely for their friendship and practical cooperation. We will do our best for all nations’ prosperity and development.

    My dear compatriots, comrades and soldiers all over the country!

    2010 is the last year to implement our five-year plan (2006-2010). It is the year to hold the 11th Congress Party at all levels. Also, 2010 is a year with many great celebrations: the 80th anniversary of the Founding of Vietnam Communist Party; the 65th anniversary of the Birth of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long – Ha Noi, the 120th birthday of the President Ho Chi Minh and the 35th anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Unification Day. For this reason, we must deploy all our resources, develop our abilities to work, learn and create most effectively and complete targets set by the 10th National Party Congress and the National Assembly (Session XII) successfully.

    If our Party, army and people strengthen solidarity and join hands with all our heart, we will absolutely have much success.

    Welcome a new spring with new successes!
