"We are committed to ensuring the welfare and interests of our people"
About this Quote
The phrase “our people” does a lot of work. It’s inclusive on its face, but it also draws a boundary around who counts as part of the political family: loyal citizens, not “hostile forces,” not dissidents, not critics whose complaints can be reframed as threats to stability. That possessive “our” implies guardianship, and guardianship implies hierarchy. The state protects; the public is protected. Rights talk would invite negotiation. Welfare talk invites gratitude.
Context matters. Phuc’s public persona has often been that of the competent administrator steering growth, investment, and pandemic-era governance in a country that prizes stability as a precondition for prosperity. In that setting, “welfare and interests” becomes a two-track message: reassurance to domestic audiences that the party remains the caretaker of everyday life, and a signal outward to investors and diplomats that Vietnam’s leadership is predictable, pragmatic, and oriented toward social order.
The subtext is the governing bargain: we deliver improvement and security; you accept the limits. The sentence’s smoothness is its strategy. It closes debate by sounding like common sense.
