SUMMARY OF MAIN ARTICLES

Tran Thi Minh Tuyet: From Ho Chi Minh’s views of Honesty, Uprightness to building the government of integrity

President Ho Chi Minh required public officers to be honest; a revolutionist should be diligent, thrifty, and honest, however, he cannot be fully revolutionary without being upright. Due to requirements of current national contexts and thanks to the understanding of Ho Chi Minh’s ethical heritage, Vietnam Government is striving to become the Government of integrity. That target could be reached when every member of the public authority has the sense of “self-correction” to be honest and upright in light of Ho Chi Minh’s thought.

Nguyen Xuan Trung: The life philosophy in Ho Chi Minh’s thought of religious tolerance

The life philosophy can be found in the fundamentals of Ho Chi Minh’s thought of religious tolerance. It is the life philosophy that created the profound humane values in Ho Chi Minh thought, particularly in the thought of religious tolerance.

Le Ngoc Hung, Nguyen Ngoc Anh: Social security policies in Vietnam: Realities and rising issues

Theories and realities have shown that social security policies are the target and motivation of inclusive and sustainable development, thus economic policies must be attached to social security ones. Vietnamese model of social security policies includes four pillars: labor and employment; poverty reduction; social insurance; social aids and basic social services. However, rising issues include: unprogressive social security takes a small proportion in people’s incomes. Besides, social security policies have yet to fully cover human life cycle and target groups. Thus, it is essential to continue researching and building criteria of social security and solutions to inclusive and sustainable development.

Ho Thanh Thuy: Vietnamese agricultural products and solutions to join global value chains

Agricultural products have found its position in some large-scale world markets and become main exports of Vietnam. However, raw products are main forms of exports, while processing, packaging, branding and marketing in overseas markets are not taken care of. Vietnamese agricultural products stay low in the value chains, with merely basic operations and procedures like producing and preliminary treatment and lack of higher-value stages like processing and marketing. The weakness has greatly impacted on the interests of producers, enterprises and the nation. That is why deeply participating in the global value chains is critical to the development of Vietnamese agricultural products.
