After 15 years of implementing Renewal (1986-2001), the value of democracy has been officially appeared in the Resolution of Vietnam Communist Party. Via practical survey and researches, however, the implementation of democracy still faces too many difficulties in how to consolidate the democratic idea and practice between those who work as theorists, leaders, managers and the life’s requirements. Due to the limitation of public’s knowledge, it is very difficult to implement the mechanism in which the people know, the people discuss, the people do, and the people check. It is also very hard to build a democratic society which there is not any complaining voice. Also, the expectation of democratic progress and implementation in social life requires the practical evidence as well as the acceptance of public. Therefore, the increase of conversation between local government and public will increase freedom for press, improve complicated administrative process, facilitate for not unions, non – financial organizations, non - governmental offices to join in social life. These are also challenges that Vietnam’s democratic value need to overcome.
