General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party and President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith and his spouse will pay a two-day state visit to Việt Nam, starting January 26.
Top legislator Trần Thanh Mẫn was in HCM city on Sunday to extend Tết (Lunar New Year) wishes to prominent figures who contributed to Việt Nam and its revolutionary cause.
Party General Secretary Tô Lâm underscored that, in the context of profound and rapid changes in the international and regional environment, foreign affairs and international integration have been identified – alongside national defence and security – as a “key and permanent task” of the Party and the State.
The goal for 2030 is to transform Việt Nam into a country with modern industry and upper-middle income status. This requires the economy to sustain average annual growth of 10 per cent or higher over many consecutive years - an unprecedented breakthrough pace, yet an entirely feasible target if all resources are fully mobilised and effectively utilised.
The 14th National Party Congress not only underscores discipline, innovation and decisive action, but also highlights people-centred decisions that will help Việt Nam develop more strongly, rise higher and go further in the time ahead.
Foreign leaders expressed the belief that General Secretary Tô Lâm’s experience and leadership will make great contributions to drive Việt Nam's socio-economic development.
The Russian leader described the 14th National Party Congress as an important political event that determined the directions, set major goals, and adopted important decisions, tasks, and measures so that Việt Nam can secure fast and sustainable development in the new era and become a high-income developed country by 2045.
The Consulate General of Việt Nam in Chongqing, China, has held a ceremony to mark the 76th founding anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Việt Nam and China (January 18, 1950–2026).
The 14th Party Central Committee comprises 180 full members, including 21 women accounting for 11.66%. They are seasoned leaders who have risen through practice, holding key positions at both central and local levels. Together, they reflect the growing role of women in leadership, policy-making and national governance, bringing competence, experience and a strong sense of responsibility to the country’s development.
The overarching idea of the documents submitted to the 14th National Party Congress, and the enduring source of strength of the Vietnamese revolution, is that “the People are the foundation.” The People are at the centre of development, the key actors, the ultimate goal, the driving force, and the vital resource for national progress.
The two sides agreed to step up exchanges and contacts at all levels, particularly at the high level and between the two foreign ministries, and to enhance the ministries’ role in promoting links and cooperation.
The 14th National Party Congress is a major political event that charts the country’s development orientations in a new era.
The messages conveyed profound interest and warm sentiments towards the Communist Party of Việt Nam, the Vietnamese State and people.
International community also focused on the Congress’s completion of the new-term Politburo, whose structure has been assessed as striking a balanced combination of continuity and renewal.
President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith and his spouse will pay a state visit to Việt Nam from January 26 to 27.
Trần Sỹ Thanh, Politburo member, Chairman of the Inspection Commission of the 13th Party Central Committee, was elected Chairman of the commission for the 14th tenure.
This event marks a significant milestone in the country’s development, reinforcing the wise and steadfast leadership of the Communist Party of Việt Nam in the national revolutionary cause.
Addressing domestic and international media, Party General Secretary Tô Lâm described the congress as a historic milestone in the Party’s 96-year history and in the millennia-long cultural and heroic journey of the Vietnamese nation.
