General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng2. On the Party and the Nation
- "The Party must maintain its leadership role, but it must also serve the people, working for their benefit."
- "History waits for no one. We must act decisively, without retreating in the face of difficulties and challenges."

With all humility, we can say that our country has never had such power, potential, international standing, and prestige as we have today."
General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng3. On Moral Values and Lifestyle
- "We must cultivate ourselves, engage in self-criticism, and correct our mistakes. We must always maintain integrity, stay away from temptations, decadent lifestyles, corruption, and negativity."
- "Revolutionary ethics are the foundation of all success. The Party must always prioritize maintaining its moral character."
- At various meetings, the General Secretary consistently emphasized the viewpoint: "Every Party member must cleanse themselves and correct their own behavior." On evaluating officials, he said: "Don’t confuse a chicken for a crow," and "Don’t think something red is ripe." He despised narrow-mindedness, selfishness, and factionalism, as exemplified by the mentality of "Crabs use their claws, fish use their fins." He also repeatedly reminded leaders, officials, and Party members: "Don’t be tempted by corrupt gains, dishonorable actions."
- "Life is only lived once, so live in a way that avoids regret or shame for cowardly, dishonorable, and despicable acts; what good is wealth when you can’t take it with you after death? Honor is the most sacred and noble thing."
General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng4. On Fighting Corruption
- "Fighting corruption is not a quick fix, but must be resolute, continuous, and persistent, with no exceptions."
- "We must ensure that those involved in corruption have no place in society, and we must expose these criminals to the public."
- "The fire is already burning, so even fresh wood must burn. First, dry wood and moderate wood catch fire, then the whole furnace heats up, and all agencies are involved. No one can stand outside. And no one should stand outside. Anyone who wants to avoid action cannot, and that’s how we will succeed."
- "I say: No stopping, no resting, no matter who it is, no exceptions."
General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng5. On Economic and Social Development
- "Economic development must go hand in hand with sustainable growth, environmental protection, and social equity."
