After 40 years of implementing reforms, Vietnam has achieved tremendous, historically significant accomplishments in many fields; its strength, overall national power, prestige, and international standing have been continuously enhanced. The reform process, coupled with increasingly deep opening up and international integration, has created fundamental and comprehensive changes, ushering the country into a new stage of development. Currently, in the context of rapidly changing, complex, and unpredictable global and regional situations, and facing new demands for reforming the growth model, achieving rapid and sustainable development, enhancing self-reliance and self-sufficiency, and deepening international integration, the 40th anniversary of reforms is a crucial moment to reflect on the country's development journey and to raise new issues requiring further research, both theoretically and practically.
Stemming from that significance and the need to continue to deeply summarize the practical experiences of 40 years of reform, clarify theoretical issues and orientations for national development in the new period, the Central Propaganda Department, the Central Theoretical Council, the National Political Publishing House, and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Vietnam National University, Hanoi, jointly organized the national scientific conference: “Vietnam on the journey of 40 years of reform and international integration (1986 - 2026)”.
