The contest aims to propagate widely throughout the Party, people and army to review the patriotic tradition and glorious history, the independent will, freedom, and resilience of Vietnam in the past wars against foreign invaders. Thereby, the contest contributes to consolidating and fostering the people’s confidence in the Party’s guidelines and leadership.
