National independence associated with socialism is the core content throughout Ho Chi Minh's entire ideology; demonstrating consistency in his theoretical thinking and practical activities. From becoming a communist until becoming a leader and head of state, Ho Chi Minh's top concern was to combine national independence with socialism in accordance with each period of the Vietnamese revolution. National independence is a common aspiration for all humanity. For the Vietnamese people, it is also a sacred value, protected and preserved by the blood, bones, and strength of countless generations of Vietnamese people. For Ho Chi Minh, national independence includes both nationalism and democracy. That is real independence, complete independence, not fake independence, half-hearted independence, formal independence. In Ho Chi Minh's ideology, national independence must be associated with the country's unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity. National independence is always associated with freedom, democracy, prosperity and happiness of the people working people.
