Nearly 1,600 delegates aim to elect Vietnam’s top leadership and set policies targeting double-digit GDP growth amid internal power consolidation by General Secretary To Lam.
- On January 19, the Communist Party of Vietnam opened its 14th National Congress in Hanoi from January 19 to 25, with nearly 1,600 delegates representing the party's more than five million members.
- Delegates will finalise a draft resolution targeting 10% average annual GDP growth from 2026 to 2030, setting policy and leadership for the next five years.
- To Lam, General Secretary, is pressing to centralise power by seeking both top roles and has driven anti-corruption, streamlined bureaucracy, and pushed ambitious reforms since August 3, 2024.
- About 200 Central Committee members will be elected, who then appoint 17 to 19 Politburo members; the new leadership will be revealed on the final day, 25 January, with the general secretary delivering the closing speech.
- The outcome will influence the CPV's ability to deliver economic results that underpin its legitimacy amid intensifying U.S.-China rivalry and Vietnam's goal to become a high-income country by 2045.
