For the first time in the history of the Party's National Congresses, the element of "happiness" has been officially and prominently defined in the theme of the 14th National Party Congress, marking a new stage of maturity in the Party's thinking on development goals and strategic vision over 95 years of leading the revolution. Bringing genuine happiness to people is identified as the "guiding principle" in the new era, and it also serves as a yardstick for measuring the effectiveness of translating resolutions into real life. This requires that every policy, guideline, and action aimed at shaping the future must be oriented toward this shared denominator.
