HCMC – There will be 1,586 delegates representing more than 5.6 million Party members nationwide at the 14th National Party Congress scheduled for January 19–25.
Politburo member and Permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu said at an international press conference in Hanoi on January 14 that personnel preparations for the 14th Party Central Committee have been made in a scientific and transparent manner.
Tu, who is also head of the organising sub-committee of the 14th National Party Congress, said the congress would be discussing and adopting key documents, including the political report of the 13th Party Central Committee; a report reviewing theoretical and practical issues of Vietnam’s socialist-oriented renewal process over the past 40 years; another reviewing 15 years of implementation of the Party statutes from 2011 to 2025 and proposing directions for its amendment and supplementation; and a report on the leadership and direction of the 13th Party Central Committee.
He highlighted the integration of three reports – the political report, the socio-economic report and the Party-building report – into a single, unified political report.
For the first time, the documents are accompanied by action programs, ensuring the resolution to be adopted by the forthcoming congress can be put into play immediately after the congress.
The draft documents that had been circulated for public feedback got nearly 14 million contributions, underscoring strong alignment between the Party’s will and public support, he said.
Tu said that the quality and effectiveness of work outputs, as well as officials’ contributions, would serve as key benchmarks in evaluating, assigning and deploying personnel. Preparations have been largely completed, with logistical arrangements carefully put in place, he added.
Security and safety measures have been implemented decisively and comprehensively, while information and communications efforts were rolled out early, helping reinforce confidence among officials, Party members and the public in the congress, foster unity within the Party and build broad social consensus.
On the media front, about 600 domestic journalists and nearly 80 international reporters are expected to come cover the congress.
Politburo member, President of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics (HCMA), and Chairman of the Central Theory Council Nguyen Xuan Thang outlined the new features of the congress.
Rather than focusing solely on economic institutions, the congress documents take a more comprehensive approach, extending to culture, society, people, national defence and security, foreign affairs, Party building, and the political system, Thang said.
