Ho Chi Minh’s thought is a system of comprehensive and profound ideas on the fundamental issues of the Vietnamese revolution. Ho Chi Minh’s morals include absolute loyalty to the revolutionary ideals, putting the interests of the Party, country and people above all. It also includes diligence, thrift, integrity, honesty and impartiality. Ho Chi Minh’s style is independent thinking, self-reliance, democratic and scientific working style, elegance and cultured behaviour, simplicity and closeness with the masses.
