(LLCT) - During the process of building realistic socialism according to the Soviet Union model, due to various reasons, socialist countries have not adequately dealt with the relationship between the universality and particularity. From that fact, lessons have been drawn for Vietnam, including the proper awareness of the importance of addressing this relationship in the socialism construction in Vietnam; thorough grasp of the methodological principles instructed by Marxism - Leninism classics in addressing this relationship; thorough grasp of Ho Chi Minh Thought on the particularity of the path towards socialism in Vietnam; and creative application of universal principles of socialism in the specific conditions of Vietnam.
