Abstract

Since his inauguration as General Secretary of Vietnam Communist Party, To Lam has subtly mentioned Vietnam’s “new beginnings”, “a new era”, and “the Era of National Rise of the Vietnamese people” during his speech deliveries for meetings of different fields. These can be found in his early writings such as “Quyết tâm xây dựng Đảng vững mạnh, nước Việt Nam giàu mạnh, dân chủ, công bằng văn minh” (Determination in Building a strong party and a Prosperous, Democratic, Just and Civilized Vietnam), “Chuyển đổi số - Động lực quan trọng phát triển lực lượng sản xuất, hoàn thiện quan hệ sản xuất đưa đất nước bước vào Kỷ nguyên mới” (Digital transformation - A crucial driver of developing workforce, bettering production relations to push the country into a new era), “Tiếp tục đổi mới mạnh mẽ phương thức lãnh đạo, cầm quyền của Đảng, yêu cầu cấp bách của giai đoạn Cách mạng mới” (Continuing leadership method renovation of the Party, an immediate requirement for the new Revolutionary era). The new political concept signals the new stage of policy including content, implementation for the new expectation of the outcome for Vietnam. Since this is the new concept of domestic politics of Vietnam, the paper will analyse aiming to explain the policy content related to the concept, understand the contemporary social, political context of Vietnam and conclude the oppotunities and challenges implementing the policy.
