Addressing the congress on behalf of the 14th Party Central Committee, General Secretary To Lam expressed profound gratitude for the trust and confidence placed in him, describing it as a great honour and a heavy responsibility before the Party, the people and the nation.

At the closing session of the 14th National Party Congress on January 23 afternoon, Politburo member, Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man, on behalf of the Congress’s Presidium, reported on the results of the election of the Political Bureau.

While praising the strong direction from the Party leadership, Professor Tran Thanh Van stressed that trust can only endure when translated into concrete action. Despite progress in legislation and policy-making, implementation remains uneven, with financial mechanisms and administrative barriers still constraining innovation.

Vietnam has been gradually moving away from a volume-oriented model towards an agricultural economy focused on value addition, quality, efficiency and sustainability.

Samdech Kittisangha Bundit Men Sam An, Vice President of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) and a senior advisor to the King of Cambodia, stressed that the CPV’s 14th Congress carries far-reaching importance for ruling parties in the region, including the CPP.

The first meeting of the newly elected Party Central Committee will continue with the personnel work, including electing members of the Politburo and the Secretariat, the Party General Secretary, and members of the Party Central Committee's Inspection Commission.

The PCF highly values these accomplishments, describing them as “truly exemplary and heroic”, and looks forward to the CPV entering a new stage of socio-economic development as it moves towards the centenary milestones of the Party’s founding and the nation’s establishment.

The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam on January 22 afternoon announced the results and approved the list of 200 newly-elected members of the 14th Party Central Committee, including 180 official members and 20 alternate members.

In a congratulatory message sent to the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Communist Party of Australia described the Congress as a momentous event for the Vietnamese Party, State and people to chart the country’s socialist development path in a new era. Among its key tasks, the Congress will review 40 years of Doi Moi (renewal), 35 years of following the Platform on National Construction, and five years of carrying out the 13th National Party Congress’s resolution.

The 14th National Party Congress should provide clearer orientations for the development of concrete, long-term cooperation programmes, in which overseas Vietnamese entrepreneurs and experts are involved from the very early stages of policy and project design.

These messages constitute a significant source of encouragement and support for Vietnam’s renewal process initiated and led by the CPV. They also vividly reflect the increasingly deep and substantive relations of friendship and cooperation between the CPV and political parties, organisations and friends around the world, as well as the growing attachment of overseas Vietnamese communities to their homeland.

Party General Secretary To Lam, head of the Documents Subcommittee, on behalf of the 13th Party Central Committee, on January 20 presented its report on the documents submitted to the 14th National Congress, highlighting key issues and new points in the draft documents for the congress to consider, discuss and decide upon.

The 14th National Party Congress is a momentous event for the country and a historic turning point toward the 100th founding anniversary of the Party (February 3, 1930-2030), concentrating the will, aspirations, and determination of our entire Party, people, and armed forces with the spirit of strategic self-reliance, self-strengthening, and confidence to advance strongly into a new era, for a peaceful, independent, democratic, prosperous, civilised, and happy Vietnam steadily progressing towards socialism.

After four decades of implementing the Doi moi (Renewal) process from 1986 to 2026, Vietnam has recorded proud and far-reaching achievements that have laid an important foundation for its aspiration to become a high-income developed country by 2045.

The Congress is an occasion to assess the country’s development situation during each term, review leadership outcomes, and draw valuable lessons of both theoretical and practical significance. It is also where the Party gives full play to collective intellect, the spirit of solidarity, renewal, and creativity in order to set out policies and orientations for national development in the subsequent period.

The congress unanimously approved the preparatory session’s programme, the working regulations of the congress, the congress work programme, and the election regulations for the 14th National Party Congress.

Pham Tat Thang, member of the Party Central Committee, Vice Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information, Education, and Mass Mobilisation, and standing deputy head of the Central Steering Committee in charge of grasping the public situation and social opinion regarding party congresses at all levels, as well as the draft documents of the 14th National Party Congress, said that those documents not only review the five-year development journey and define the key directions, objectives, tasks, and solutions for the upcoming term, but also shape strategic thinking, vision, and development orientations for the country toward the middle of the 21st century.

Andrew Goledzinowski, former Australian Ambassador to Vietnam from 2022 to 2024, said that Vietnam is at a historic juncture, noting that the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam is an event of particularly important significance.
