After the liberation of the South and reunification of the nation, the Communist Party of Vietnam led the country to overcome war aftermaths and restore the economy.
Between 1965-1973, the Party continued to lead the whole country in the resistance war against the US since the US launched the "local war" in the South and a destructive war in the North.
The Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) has always served as the core force to, together with the Party and the people, achieve splendid accomplishments in national liberation and construction and defence throughout its 75-year history, Party General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong has said.
Vietnam’s Multidimensional Poverty Index ranks 31st out of the 105 countries surveyed in Human Development Indices (HDI).
