The 14th Party Congress will be an important milestone on the path of national development, continuing to comprehensively and synchronously promote the innovation process, according to General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

The country had achieved many important and outstanding results, with many bright spots, creating the premise for Vietnam to enter a new development stage with new opportunities, advantages, and greater challenges intertwined.
At the same time, the Congress will determine the direction, goals and tasks of the entire Party, people and army in the next 5 years (2026-2030); review the leadership of the 13th Central Committee; amend the Party Charter; and elect the 14th Central Committee.
