Greetings to all compatriots, comrades, and soldiers throughout the nation, as well as to our fellow Vietnamese abroad,
The arrival of the Year of the Snake ushers in a season filled with joy, optimism, and hopeful aspirations.
As we transition into this New Year, I convey my heartfelt wishes for a happy and prosperous year to all Vietnamese, comrades, and soldiers within the country, along with our compatriots overseas.
I also extend best wishes for peace, happiness, friendship, and progress to our friends from various nations across the globe.
The past year was not without its challenges, often likened to navigating a turbulent sea, yet it was also a year marked by significant accomplishments we should celebrate.
In facing difficulties, we have reaffirmed our collective spirit of solidarity, resilience, and determination.
The Party, the people, and the military have dedicated their efforts to achieving all 15 socio-economic development objectives.
Our nation continues to experience one of the highest economic growth rates worldwide.
Improvements in both material and spiritual aspects of life for our citizens have been notable.
We have maintained political and social stability, enhancing our national defense and security.
Our international relationships have grown, earning respect globally.
Every Vietnamese, whether in the country or abroad—workers, farmers, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and our soldiers serving in distant areas—should feel proud of their roles in our nation’s achievements.
The year 2025 represents a significant landmark for Vietnam; it is a time to speed up progress, achieve breakthroughs, and set the groundwork for a future characterized by prosperity and strength.
This new era aligns our Party’s vision with the hopes of the people for a thriving nation.
Despite ongoing challenges, Vietnam will persist in its progress.
Our ambition for advancement and a bright future is unwavering.
The unity of the Party, people, and military will remain steadfast, fostering self-reliance, confidence, independence, and national pride.
We will capitalize on every opportunity, overcome obstacles, and work diligently to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, fair, and cultured Vietnam—where every citizen enjoys a peaceful, free, and fulfilling life.
We are dedicated to furthering the peace, security, and growth of both our region and the world.
As nature harmonizes and all hearts celebrate the New Year, I extend my warmest wishes for health, peace, and prosperity to all compatriots, comrades, and soldiers in Vietnam and abroad.
This New Year is sure to bring many new successes.
With warm regards,
PRESIDENT LUONG CUONG
