major dailies run editorials emphasising the historical significance and valuable lessons learnt from the August Revolution

Hanoi (VNA) – On August 19, the country’s major dailies run editorials
emphasising the historical significance and valuable lessons learnt from the August
Revolution, which took place 65 years ago.

On August 19 1945, the entire Vietnamese people under the leadership of the Party,
launched a general uprising to seize power, the daily newspaper Nhan dan (People)
recalled the event.

“The August Revolution was the result of the long-lasting, resilient and
indomitable struggle of the Vietnamese people under the clear-sighted leadership of
the Party and President Ho Chi Minh,” said the daily in its editorial entitled
“Continuing on the August Revolution road”.

The August Revolution victory put an end to one century of colonialism and
imperialism and one millennium of feudalism, establishing the republic democracy,
bringing Vietnam to a new era – an era of national independence and
socialism, it added.

Editorials on Hanoi Moi and Quan doi Nhan dan dailies affirmed the existing value of
the three key lessons learnt from the historical event in the current national
construction and defence. These are lessons about taking the chance to launch a
general uprising, upholding great national unity strength and ensuring a strong and
pure party.

The papers also stressed the country’s chances with its increasing position and
strength after 25 years of implementing the Party-initiated and led Doi Moi
(renewal) process.

It is necessary to snatch the opportunities to overcome difficulties, creat
significant breakthroughs in social life, help to accelerate industrialisation and
modernisation, they added.

“Under the Party’s leadership, with the August Revolution’s spirit and efforts
to uphold national strength and step up the renewal process, we will overcome all
challenges and keep up on the glorious August Revolution road,” the editorials
concluded.-Enditem
