In his opening speech, Major General Pham Van Huan, Editor-in-Chief of the People's Army newspaper and head of the organising board, stated that on February 3, 1930, the Communist Party of Vietnam was born. Over 86 years with 11 congresses held, the Party has led Vietnam to overcome difficulties and challenges to earn important achievements.

The Party deserves to be highlighted as a symbol of Vietnam’s success, intelligence and culture, Major General Huan affirmed, adding that practices over the 86-year tradition of the Party have become the pride of the communists and the people of Vietnam, laying a solid basis for people to have trust in the Party and vice versa, forming a consensus and strength of the great unity between the Party and the people.

Short reports presented at the event informed the audience of the 86 year-long history of Vietnam’s revolution under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam over its 11 congresses; confirming the absolute leadership of the Party in national achievements and demonstrating the absolute trust of the entire Party, army and people to the Party.

Famous revolutionary songs were also sung by popular singers, artists, and musicians, recalling the development of the Communist Party of Vietnam and Vietnam's revolution.

On the occasion, President of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Nguyen Thien Nhan and National Assembly Vice Chairwoman Tong Thi Phong, together with representatives of the organising committee, presented gifts to officers and soldiers who are on duty guarding the peace of the nation.
