In a letter marking Vietnam Family Day (June 28), the leader noted that as the country enters a new stage of development, market-oriented economic changes, urbanization, labor migration, digital transformation, and population aging are reshaping family life in profound ways.
What is particularly concerning, he wrote, is not only material hardship but also the growing lack of meaningful communication within families and the gradual erosion of traditional family values and cultural norms.
Every development policy, he said, should help make families safer, more equal, and more compassionate, ensuring that children are protected, women are respected, the elderly are cared for, and all family members can live in an environment rooted in love, discipline, and responsibility.
Party leader and President Lam expressed his hope that every Vietnamese family will continue to uphold the nation’s cherished traditions through everyday actions: honoring parents and grandparents, loving and nurturing children, building faithful and supportive marriages based on equality, and fostering respect, understanding, and solidarity across generations.
“Preserving the family means preserving our traditions, our culture, and the enduring strength of the Vietnamese nation,” he wrote.
