The Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) commenced its 14th National Congress on January 20, 2026, at Hanoi's National Convention Center, marking a pivotal moment in the country's political calendar. More than 1,500 delegates representing 5.6 million party members convened to shape Vietnam's policy direction for the coming years.
Agenda and Leadership Addresses
Delegates will review critical documents including a comprehensive political report from the 13th Party Central Committee and an analysis of Vietnam's 40-year socialist-oriented renewal process. State President Luong Cuong opened the session with a keynote speech emphasizing national unity and development goals, while CPV Central Committee General Secretary To Lam presented detailed reports on proposed resolutions.
Strategic Priorities
The congress follows preparatory meetings that finalized working procedures and election regulations. Observers anticipate discussions will address economic modernization, technological innovation, and Vietnam's evolving role in Southeast Asia's geopolitical landscape.
This quadrennial gathering comes as Vietnam strengthens its position as a key ASEAN economy and strategic partner in global supply chains. The outcomes are expected to influence both domestic reforms and international engagements through 2030.
