14th National Party Congress - An important milestone in the country's development process
The 14th National Congress of the Party is a particularly important milestone in the country's development process. The Congress is expected to make historic decisions, creating strong momentum for Vietnam to move forward strongly into an era of prosperous development, firmly moving towards socialism.
1,586 delegates will attend the Congress
The 14th National Party Congress will take place in Hanoi, from January 19 to 25, 2026, with the participation of 1,586 delegates, representing more than 5.6 million Party members nationwide. The Congress is held with the motto: "Solidarity - Democracy - Discipline - Breakthrough - Development", demonstrating the consistent spirit in leading, directing and organizing the implementation of important political tasks of the Party in the coming term.
The 14th National Party Congress has the theme: "Under the glorious flag of the Party, join hands and be determined to successfully implement the country's development goals by 2030; be self-reliant, confident, and move forward strongly in the era of national growth, for peace, independence, democracy, prosperity, prosperity, civilization, happiness, and steadily moving towards socialism".
The preparation of the draft Document has carried out an important reform step, integrating 3 reports: Political Report, Socio-Economic Report and Party building summary report into a unified and synchronous Political Report. The draft documents not only summarize the journey in the past 5 years, but also determine the goals and tasks for the coming term, clearly demonstrating strategic thinking, long-term vision and development orientation of the country until the middle of the 21st century.
Notably, for the first time in each Congress, the Political Report was developed with a specific action program, clearly defining the goals, tasks, roadmaps, resources and responsibilities of each agency and unit, ensuring that the Resolution of the Congress can be implemented immediately after it is passed.
The Congress took place in the context of the country going through 40 years of renovation with many historic achievements, but also facing the need to make a stronger breakthrough to avoid falling behind, overcome the middle-income trap and adapt to changes in the regional and world situation.
Therefore, the 14th Congress carries the mission of strategic orientation and development vision for the country in the new era. Breakthrough development goals in the new period have also been set out in the draft documents of the 14th Congress.
New highlights in thinking and development orientation
Politburo member, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council Nguyen Xuan Thang emphasized that the 14th Congress has many fundamental new points compared to previous congresses. First of all, it is a strong innovation in thinking, focusing on institutional improvement to develop the country quickly and sustainably, not only in the economy but also in all fields of culture, society, people, national defense, security, foreign affairs, and Party building.
A very important new point is that if in the past, when discussing the requirements for rapid and sustainable development of the country, we only identified socio-economic development as the center, not fully highlighting the role of the environment; then this time, the draft document clearly emphasized that socio-economic development - environment is three important pillars, while affirming the role of cultural identity and political stability.
The 14th Congress also focused on building a new growth model, adapting to major changes in the world such as digital transformation, green transformation, energy transformation and human resource transformation, thereby improving productivity, quality, efficiency and added value of the economy.
Along with that, for the first time, the draft document of the Congress clearly emphasizes the determination of national defense - security and foreign affairs as an important and regular task, not only a separate field of each industry but also a task of the entire political system, to combine national strength with the strength of the times, maximizing domestic and international resources.
The 14th Congress also has many other new contents related to science and technology, innovation with breakthroughs; building a modern national education, taking quality and output efficiency to adapt to new changes.
Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Tung - Chairman of the Science and Training Council, Vietnam Institute of Development Studies and Sciences (Hanoi National University) - said that the most important task of our entire nation in the new era is to improve innovation capacity, improve digital transformation capacity, improve the quality of human resources, and prepare long-term development momentum for the country.
A historic turning point opens a new stage of development
Associate Professor, Dr. Le Quoc Ly - former Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics - said that the draft Political Report has identified the main development targets for the 5 years 2026 - 2030 as well as the viewpoints and goals for building and developing the country in the coming period, emphasizing the continued construction and synchronous completion of the country's rapid and sustainable institutional development.
In particular, it is determined to continue to strongly innovate thinking, promote strategic breakthroughs, create a new development ecosystem, ensure a viewpoint of development to stabilize and stabilize to promote development and constantly improve people's lives and happiness; focus on comprehensively and synchronously perfecting the country's rapid and sustainable development institutions, in which the political system is the key, the economic institution is the focus, and other institutions are very important.
