Vietnam's Communist Party selects next leadership candidates as January congress nears

The plenum finalized leadership nominees with high delegate support to guide reforms and infrastructure expansion for the next five years, ahead of the January party congress.

  • On Dec 23, senior officials of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party concluded a two-day plenum in Hanoi, finalising leadership candidates but not releasing any names.
  • The plenum precedes the five-yearly party congress , with delegates selecting nominees for party chief and the state pillars of president, prime minister, chairman of parliament, and standing secretariat member.
  • Party chief To Lam addressed roughly 200 party members, with officials agreeing to continue public administration reforms and accelerate infrastructure expansion.
  • On Tuesday morning, markets reacted positively as Vietnam's stock market rose to a new high, with investors cheering perceived political stability.
  • Analysts say To Lam, 68, seeks a second term as party chief, though lacklustre US trade talks and 20 per cent tariffs may have tempered earlier merger ambitions with the state presidency.
