Abstract

Ho Chi Minh’s thought on great national unity and international solidarity constitutes an important component of his ideological system and an enduring spiritual resource for the Vietnamese revolutionary cause. He regarded great national unity as a strategic principle and a decisive source of revolutionary strength. He also advocated combining national strength with the power of the times and securing the support of progressive peoples and international forces. Amid globalization, extensive international integration, strategic competition among countries, and rapid economic, scientific, and technological change, applying these ideas remains particularly important to national development and defense. This article analyzes the contemporary significance of Ho Chi Minh’s thought on national unity and international solidarity and proposes measures to strengthen its application to protect and develop Vietnam.

Keywords: Great national unity, Ho Chi Minh thought, international solidarity, national defense, national development.
