The party maintained close relations with other communist parties around the world, particularly the Workers' Party of Korea.

The stated goals of the party are to "build healthy and solid foundations for the construction of a social democracy which guarantees sustained and sustainable growth", and to "consolidate and maintain the independence of Madagascar and the freedom of the Malagasy people, for a just and equitable nation".[1]
