In his opening address, Deputy President of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences Dang Xuan Thanh, the organizer of this forum, pointed out that the socialist development model is the core content of socialist construction. This reflects the basic principles of scientific socialism while also taking into account the specific national conditions of each country. The socialist development models of China, Vietnam, and Laos have achieved brilliant successes in their respective economic, political, cultural, and social fields, contributing increasing material and spiritual value to the common development of humanity today. While continuing to supplement and develop the Marxist-Leninist theory of socialism, socialist countries also need to constantly explore and create new methods and measures that conform to their specific historical conditions, in order to advance socialism to success and give the socialist path universality on a world scale.

本届论坛承办方越南社会科学翰林院副院长邓春青在开幕式致辞中指出，社会主义发展模式是社会主义建设的核心内容，这体现了科学社会主义的基本原则，同时，也兼顾了根据各国的具体国情。中国、越南和老挝的社会主义发展模式在各自经济、政治、文化、社会等各领域都取得了辉煌成就，为当今人类的共同发展贡献了越来越多的物质和精神价值。在继续补充和发展马克思列宁主义关于社会主义理论的同时，社会主义国家还需要不断探索和创造新的、符合各国具体历史条件的方式与措施，以推动社会主义取得成功，让社会主义道路在世界范围具有普遍性。

In his address, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Zhen Zhanmin pointed out that since the beginning of the 21st century, socialist countries, under the leadership of Marxist ruling parties, have formed distinctive socialist development models through independent exploration of the laws of socialist development. In recent years, with the deepening of a new round of reform measures and the implementation of many new policy measures, socialist countries have generally entered a period of stable development in the construction of their institutional systems, opening a new historical stage of concentrating efforts on building socialism suited to their own national conditions. Under the overall global pattern of “capitalism is strong, socialism is weak,” the development of socialist countries will still face a very complex international environment, risks, challenges, and political pressure. Strengthening exchanges and mutual learning among socialist countries regarding development models and development experiences helps socialist countries enhance strategic confidence and optimize strategic foresight, thereby more firmly advancing the socialist modernization process aimed at national prosperity and the happiness of the people.

中国社会科学院副院长甄占民在致辞中指出，进入21世纪以来，社会主义国家在马克思主义执政党的领导下，通过社会主义发展规律的自主探索，形成了各具特色的社会主义发展模式。近年来，随着新一轮改革措施的深化和多方面新的政策措施的实施，社会主义国家总体步入了制度体系建设的稳定发展期，开启了集中力量建设适合本国国情的社会主义的历史新阶段。在世界“资强社弱”的整体格局下，社会主义国家发展仍将面临十分复杂的国际环境、风险挑战和政治压力。加强社会主义国家关于发展模式和发展经验的交流互鉴，有助于社会主义国家增强战略自信，优化战略前瞻，从而更加坚定地推进以国家繁荣和人民幸福为目标的社会主义现代化进程。

In his address, Vice President of the Lao Academy of Economic and Social Sciences Khamlasi Chobpan pointed out that, facing the challenges of globalization and a complex international situation, Laos, in its socialist transition period, must advance sustainable and green economic and social development along the socialist path. Laos should strengthen exchanges and the summarization of theoretical research and practical experience with socialist countries, in order to find a suitable model and realize the goals and aspirations of socialist construction in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic in the New Era.

老挝经济与社会科学院副院长坎腊西·乔本潘在致辞中指出，面对全球化挑战和复杂的国际形势，处于社会主义过渡阶段的老挝必须沿着社会主义道路，推进经济社会可持续和绿色发展。老挝应加强与社会主义国家的理论研究和实践经验的交流和总结，从而找到适合的模式，实现新时代老挝人民民主共和国社会主义建设的目标和愿望。

In his speech titled “New Understandings of the Vietnamese Socialist Development Model in the Documents of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam,” Professor Pham Van Duc, former Vice President of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that scientific socialism still has value, but this theory must be creatively applied to Vietnam’s practice in order to find a new model suitable for Vietnam’s practice. From the perspective of the goal system, the overall goal of the Vietnamese socialist model is a prosperous people, a strong country, democracy, fairness, and civilization. To achieve this goal, the specific measures Vietnam has adopted include developing a knowledge economy and promoting the country’s industrialization and modernization; developing a socialist-oriented market economy, building an advanced culture with national characteristics, building the people, raising the people’s living standards, and achieving social progress and fairness; firmly ensuring national defense and security and social order and safety; pursuing a foreign policy of independence and self-reliance, multilateralization and diversification of external relations, peace, friendship, cooperation, development, and proactive international integration; and building a socialist democratic political system and unleashing the strength of great national unity. Although the issue of Vietnam’s socialist model is frequently supplemented and perfected, it still requires further exploration and clarification in both theory and practice. Building and perfecting Vietnam’s view of the socialist model is not only about clearly, correctly, and completely defining the goals but also about determining the methods and measures to firmly implement these goals.

越南社会科学翰林院原副院长范文德教授在《越南共产党十三大文件中有关越南社会主义发展模式的新认识》的发言中指出，科学社会主义仍然具有价值，但必须创造性地将这一理论运用到越南的实践中，才能找到适合越南实践新模式。从目标体系来看，越南社会主义模式的总目标是民富、国强、民主、公平、文明。为了实现这个目标，越南采取的具体措施包括发展知识经济、促进国家的工业化和现代化；发展社会主义定向的市场经济，建设富有民族特色的先进文化，建设人民，提高人民生活水平，实现社会进步和公平； 坚定保障国防安全、社会秩序安全；奉行独立自主、对外关系多边化和多样化、和平友好、合作发展、积极主动融入国际的外交政策； 建设社会主义民主政治，发挥民族大团结的力量等。越南的社会主义模式问题虽然经常得到补充和完善，但在理论和实践上仍有待进一步探索和厘清。建设和完善越南的社会主义模式观，不仅是对目标的明确、正确、完整的定义，也是确定方法和措施，以坚定地落实这些目标的基础。

In his keynote speech titled “The Scientific Connotation and Practical Significance of the Basic Principles of Scientific Socialism,” Researcher Xin Xiangyang, Party Secretary of the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the basic principles of scientific socialism are the deep-rooted source of the prosperity and vitality of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the inexhaustible source of a long river. The basic principles of scientific socialism are not dogmas but guides to action and methods. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC [1]1 The 18th National Congress of the CPC was held in November 2012, marking the beginning of Xi Jinping’s leadership and the launch of the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party., General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly expounded on the basic principles of scientific socialism, which can be summarized in nine aspects: organizing social production on the basis of public ownership of the means of production; conducting organized and purposeful regulation of social production; implementing the principle of distribution according to work in the first stage of socialism and the principle of distribution according to need in the higher stage; transforming and utilizing nature in accordance with natural laws; realizing the free and comprehensive development of each individual; the proletarian party maintaining its advanced nature, purity, and morality; a very high level of civilization in future society; common prosperity for the entire society; and a strong proletarian state power. Adhering to the basic principles of scientific socialism requires making the Communist Party of China increasingly powerful. We must continuously deepen our understanding of these basic principles on the basis of adhering to them, and constantly enrich and develop them.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院党委书记辛向阳研究员在《科学社会主义基本原则的科学内涵及其现实意义》的主题发言中指出，科学社会主义基本原则是中国特色社会主义事业兴旺发达的深厚根源所在，是万里长河的不竭源泉所在。科学社会主义基本原则不是教条，而是行动的指南和方法。中国共产党的十八大以来，习近平总书记多次阐述过科学社会主义基本原则，可以概括为在生产资料公有制基础上组织社会生产，对社会生产进行有组织有目的的调节，社会主义第一阶段实行按劳分配原则，高级阶段实行按需分配原则，合乎自然规律地改造和利用自然，实现每个人自由而全面的发展，无产阶级政党保持自身先进性纯洁性道德性，未来社会文明程度非常高，整个社会共同富裕，强大无产阶级国家政权九个方面。坚持科学社会主义基本原则就必须把中国共产党建设的越来越强大。我们要不断在坚持这一基本原则的基础上，深化对这一基本原则的认识，并不断丰富和发展这一基本原则。

In his speech titled “Some Theoretical Issues Requiring Re-examination and Transcendence in the Theory of Socialist Development Models,” Dr. Khamphone Thepmandaly, Director of the Institute of Social Research of the Lao Academy of Economic and Social Sciences, pointed out that to achieve the goal of social transformation and building a new and better society, each ruling party must establish a theoretical foundation that meets three basic requirements: satisfying the development needs of the broad masses of the people, conforming to the trends of the times, and answering practical questions. On the basis of a profound understanding of Marxism-Leninism and absorbing the thought of Kaysone Phomvihane [2]2 Kaysone Phomvihane (1920–1992) was the founding leader of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party and the first Prime Minister and President of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic., the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party has formulated specific goals and guidelines for economic, cultural, and social development, as well as security and defense, foreign affairs, the political system, and Party building, in accordance with the practice of each stage, and these have been consolidated and supplemented at successive party congresses.

老挝经济与社会科学院社会研究所所长坎鹏·帖门达理博士在《关于社会主义发展模式理论中需重新认识和超越的一些理论问题》的发言中指出，为实现社会变革和建设美好新社会的目标，各执政党必须建立起能满足广大人民群众发展需要、符合时代发展趋势、回答实践问题三个基本要求的理论基础。老挝人民革命党在深刻认识马克思列宁主义和吸收凯山·丰威汉思想的基础上，为经济、文化和社会发展以及安全防务、外交、政治体系和党的建设制定了符合于各阶段实践的具体目标和方针，并在历届党代会中得到巩固和补充。

In his speech titled “The Theory and Practice of Socialism in Vietnam Today: Models and Characteristics,” Associate Professor Luong Dinh Hai of the Institute of Anthropology of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences mentioned that socialism must always, with a spirit of critique and innovation, selectively absorb and supplement the latest achievements of thought and science, so that socialism and its doctrines maintain eternal vitality, continuously gain new dynamism, and be imbued with the spirit of the times, ensuring they do not become rigid, stagnant, or lag behind practice.

越南社会科学翰林院人类学研究所副教授梁廷海在题为《当前越南社会主义的理论与实践：模式与特点》的发言中提到，社会主义始终要以批判和创新的精神，有选择地吸收和补充思想和科学的最新成果，使社会主义及其学说永葆鲜活生命力，不断增添新活力，富有时代气息，使之不僵化、不停滞、不落后于实践。

Gong Yun, a researcher and vice president of the Academy of Marxism at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in his keynote speech titled “Great Attention Must Be Paid to Developing the Rural Collective Economy in the New Era” that developing the rural collective economy in the New Era is related to the common prosperity of Chinese peasants, to whether Chinese peasants will adhere to the socialist path, and to the realization of rural revitalization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Developing the rural collective economy in the New Era is an important and urgent task for realizing rural revitalization, requiring effective pathways and measures: strengthening the Party’s overall leadership over the development of the rural collective economy, developing the rural collective economy with a spirit of reform and innovation, giving play to the principal role of rural grassroots Party organizations in developing the rural collective economy, and cultivating a large contingent for developing the rural collective economy. We should, from the height of whether it concerns adherence to the socialist path and common prosperity for peasants, attach importance to the development of the rural collective economy through concrete actions, promote the second leap forward in socialist agriculture, and advance the realization of rural revitalization on schedule. [3]3 The “second leap forward” in socialist agriculture refers to Deng Xiaoping’s vision of a transition from household-based farming to a scaled, collective agricultural economy, building on the first leap of decollectivization in the early 1980s.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院副院长龚云研究员在《新时代要高度重视发展农村集体经济》的主题发言中指出，新时代发展农村集体经济，关系到中国农民共同富裕，关系到中国农民坚持走社会主义道路,关系到实现乡村振兴和中华民族伟大复兴。新时代发展农村集体经济是实现乡村振兴的一项重要紧迫的任务，需要有效路径和举措，加强党对发展农村集体经济的全面领导，以改革创新精神发展农村集体经济，发挥农村基层党组织发展农村集体经济的主体作用，培养发展农村集体经济的庞大队伍。我们应该从关系到坚持社会主义道路和农民共同富裕高度,从实际行动上重视农村集体经济发展,推动社会主义农业实现第二次飞跃，推进乡村振兴如期实现。

Lin Jianhua, a professor and vice president of the Academy of Marxism at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in his keynote speech titled “Scientific Judgments on the Historical Position and Development Stage of Contemporary China and Their Evolutionary Logic” that the Communist Party of China, from different dimensions, has made major judgments on historical positions and development stages such as China still being in the primary stage of socialism, socialism with Chinese characteristics having entered a New Era, and China having entered a new stage of development. These fully embody the correct grasp of the dialectical unity of continuity and stages, quantitative change and qualitative change in the social development of contemporary China, and promote the regular forward development of contemporary Chinese society with a great historical initiative. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party has still emphasized that China is and will long remain in the primary stage of socialism, and has made the major judgment that “socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a New Era.” Its important basis is that the principal contradiction in Chinese society has transformed from the contradiction between the ever-growing material and cultural needs of the people and backward social production into the contradiction between the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. [4]4 The 18th National Congress of the CPC was held in 2012, marking the beginning of Xi Jinping’s leadership and the official proclamation of the “New Era.”

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院副院长林建华教授在《当代中国历史方位和发展阶段的科学判断及其演进逻辑》的主题发言中指出，中国共产党从不同的维度，分别作出中国仍处于社会主义初级阶段、中国特色社会主义进入新时代、我国进入新发展阶段等历史方位和发展阶段的重大判断，充分体现了对当代中国社会发展的连续性与阶段性、量变与质变的辩证统一的正确把握，以伟大的历史主动精神推动当代中国社会合乎规律地向前发展。中国共产党的十八大以来，我们党仍然强调我国处于并将长期处于社会主义初级阶段，并作出了“中国特色社会主义进入了新时代”的重大判断，其重要依据是我国社会主要矛盾已经由人民日益增长的物质文化需要同落后的社会生产之间的矛盾转化为人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾。

Nguyen Ngoc Ha, an associate professor at the Institute of Philosophy of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, stated in his speech titled “The Communist Party of Vietnam’s New Understanding of Socialism and the Transition Period to Socialism in Vietnam” that the Communist Party of Vietnam’s current understanding of socialism and the socialist transition period contains some new content compared with the period before 1986.

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所副教授阮玉河在题为《越南共产党对社会主义和越南向社会主义过渡时期的新认识》的发言中谈到，目前越南共产党对社会主义和社会主义过渡时期的认识与1986年以前相比有了一些新内容。

Khamman Sihaphaseuth, executive director of the Institute of History and Archaeology of the Lao Academy of Social and Economic Sciences, stated in his speech titled “Achievements and Challenges in the Process of Practicing the Socialist Development Model in Laos” that socialist construction in Laos and socialist construction for all humanity still faces many obstacles. Against the backdrop of globalization, multipolarization, and multilateral cooperation, countries need to exchange, cooperate, and learn from each other’s experiences, promote the further development of each country’s socialist model, and contribute to maintaining peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region and the world.

老挝经济社会科学院历史与考古学研究所执行所长坎满·西潘赛在题为《老挝实践社会主义发展模式过程中的成就与挑战》的发言中认为，老挝的社会主义建设和全人类的社会主义建设仍面临诸多障碍，在全球化、多极化和多边合作的时代背景下，各国需要交流、合作、借鉴经验，推动各国社会主义模式进一步发展，为维护地区和世界的和平、稳定、合作与发展作出贡献。

Pan Jin’e, director of the Department of International Communist Movement Studies at the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in her speech titled “New Developments in World Socialism and the International Communist Movement, 2021–2022” that the dynamics of the international communist movement and world socialism in 2021 were constituted by the following major events: first, the centenary of the Communist Party of China, with the brilliant achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics winning the praise of countries around the world; second, four foreign socialist countries successively convened new Party congresses, actively combating the epidemic and promoting economic and social development; third, non-ruling communist parties in various countries persisted in struggles both inside and outside parliament, making adaptive adjustments to seek space for survival and development. At the same time, communist parties and Marxist scholars around the world reviewed the historical experiences and lessons of the Paris Commune and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, revisiting the revolutionary thought of early revolutionaries in the international communist movement, aiming to learn from history and respond to practical challenges. In 2022, the continued COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war increased the risk of imperialist war, and the international communist movement faced new shocks. However, the magnificent hundred-year history of the Communist Party of China will inspire communist parties around the world to firmly set their direction and continue toward a brilliant tomorrow.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院国际共运研究部主任潘金娥在《2021-2022年世界社会主义和国际共产主义运动的新发展》的发言中指出，2021年国际共产主义运动和世界社会主义发展动态由以下几个重大事件构成：一是中国共产党百年华诞，中国特色社会主义的辉煌成就赢得世界各国的赞赏；二是4个国外社会主义国家先后召开新一届党的代表大会，积极抗疫并推进经济和社会发展；三是非执政的各国共产党坚持议会内和议会外斗争，作出适应性调整以谋求生存和发展空间。与此同时，世界各国共产党和马克思主义学者对巴黎公社和苏联解体的历史经验和教训进行了回顾，重温了国际共产主义运动早期革命家的革命思想，旨在以史为鉴，应对现实挑战。2022年，新冠肺炎疫情持续加上俄乌战争爆发，加大了帝国主义发动战争的风险，国际共产主义运动面临新的冲击，但中国共产党的壮丽百年史将激励世界各国共产党坚定方向，继续走向明日辉煌。

Dr. Dao Thi Minh Thao, an assistant researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, in her speech titled “Vietnam after 35 Years of Renovation Oriented toward Socialism,” summarized six overall changes in Vietnam’s national construction and renovation over the past 35 years: implementing national industrialization and modernization, developing a socialist-oriented market economy, cultural development and human development, practicing democratic social equity and building a socialist rule-of-law state, implementing a progressive foreign policy, and building a pure and strong Party. After 35 years of renovation, the characteristics of Vietnam’s socialist model have become more distinct. Vietnamese socialism still has some shortcomings, such as the gap between rich and poor, a relatively slow process of industrialization and modernization, and corruption and waste. In the process of building socialism, Vietnam must continue to study, summarize, and learn from the experiences and lessons of other countries, and strengthen exchanges with them.

越南社会科学翰林院哲学研究所助理研究员陶氏明草博士在《按照社会主义定向革新35年后的越南》的发言中，概括总结了越南过去35年国家建设革新六个方面的总体变化：实施国家工业化和现代化、发展社会主义定向的市场经济、文化发展与人的发展、实行民主社会公平和建设社会主义法权国家、执行进步的对外路线、建设纯洁坚强的党。经过三十五年的革新，越南社会主义模式的特征更加鲜明。越南社会主义仍存在一些不足，比如贫富差距问题、工业化和现代化进程比较缓慢、腐败浪费等。越南在建设社会主义过程中还要继续研究、总结、借鉴各国的经验教训，加强与各国的交流。

He Qin, an associate researcher at the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in her speech titled “New Progress in the Updating of Cuba’s Socialist Model as Seen from the 8th Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba” that since the 6th Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba in 2011, the updating of Cuba’s socioeconomic model has advanced steadily. The new Cuban Constitution adopted in 2019 further consolidated Cuba’s socialist system and clarified Cuba’s socioeconomic development plan oriented toward 2030. The 8th Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba emphasized that the updating of Cuba’s socioeconomic model must adhere to socialist principles and direction, and reflected on and criticized the overall lag in model updating. Under the dual test of the blockade and the epidemic, the Cuban people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba, have continuously deepened the updating of the economic model through measures such as monetary rectification, state-owned enterprise reform, and promoting the development of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, strengthened livelihood guarantees and epidemic prevention and control, and actively expanded diversified diplomacy and international cooperation.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院副研究员贺钦在《从古共八大看古巴社会主义模式更新的新进展》的发言中指出，自 2011 年古共六大以来，古巴社会经济模式更新稳步推进。2019 年通过的古巴新宪法进一步巩固了古巴的社会主义制度，明确了古巴面向 2030 年的社会经济发展计划。古共八大上强调，古巴社会经济模式更新必须坚守社会主义原则和方向，并对模式更新整体滞后的局面进行了反思和批评。在封锁与疫情的双重考验下，古巴人民在古巴共产党的领导下，通过货币整顿、国企改革、促进中小微企业发展等举措，不断深化经济模式更新，加强民生保障与疫情防控，积极拓展多元外交与国际合作。

Phanvongsa Khamphanya, executive director of the Institute of Political Science of the Lao Academy of Social and Economic Sciences, pointed out in his speech titled “On the Relationship between Socialist Development Models in Various Countries: The Current Development Reality of Laos” that Laos will continue to seek consistent concern and support from socialist countries, especially the People’s Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, which border Laos, and will continue to comprehensively deepen relations with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Cuba, enhancing the role and status of socialism in the current complex and increasingly contradictory world situation.

老挝经济社会科学院政治学研究所执行所长潘冯萨·坎班雅在题为《论各国社会主义发展模式之间的关系:当前老挝的发展现实》的发言中指出，老挝将继续争取社会主义国家特别是和老挝接壤的中华人民共和国和越南社会主义共和国一贯的关心和支持，继续全面深化与朝鲜和古巴的关系，在当前错综复杂、 矛盾日益凸显的世界形势中提升社会主义的作用和地位。

Xun Shouxiao, an assistant researcher at the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in his speech "The Evolution and New Development of the Guiding Ideology of the Workers' Party of Korea" that Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the sole guiding ideology of the Workers' Party of Korea. Kim Jong Un has further developed Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, answering the question of "how to build Korean-style socialism." The most important point is to define its essence as "the people-first principle," a political philosophy that regards the masses as the masters of revolution and construction, relies on the masses, and serves the people selflessly. In the report of the Eighth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea held in 2021, Kim Jong Un clearly stated that North Korea has entered a "new era of development," namely the era of "our state-first principle." He argued that the victories achieved through tenacious struggle in the five years since the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea have a characteristic: they opened a new era of development, the era of "our state-first principle," which is also a new era of self-preservation and prosperity.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院助理研究员荀寿潇在《朝鲜劳动党指导思想的演变与新发展》的发言中指出，金日成金正日主义是朝鲜劳动党的唯一指导思想，金正恩进一步发展了金日成金正日主义，回答了“怎样建设朝鲜式社会主义”的问题，最重要的一点是将其本质归结为“人民群众第一主义”，将人民群众看作革命和建设的主人，依靠人民群众，为人民忘我服务的政治理念”。在 2021 年举行的朝鲜劳动党八大的大会报告中，金正恩明确指出朝鲜进入“新的发展时代”即“我们国家第一主义”时代，认为朝鲜劳动党七大后五年来经过顽强斗争取得的胜利具有一种特征，即开启了新的发展时代、“我们国家第一主义”时代，也是自存和繁荣的新时代。
