Second meeting of 14th Party Central Committee opens in Hanoi

The second meeting of the 14th Party Central Committee officially opened in Hanoi on Monday under the chairmanship of Party General Secretary To Lam.

Politburo member and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man chaired the opening session.

During the meeting, the 14th Party Central Committee will review, discuss and decide on a range of particularly important issues that will serve as a foundation for effectively implementing the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress.

These matters are directly tied to the quality of the Party’s leadership and combat strength, the effectiveness of the entire political system, and the country’s rapid and sustainable development in the 2026-2031 period and beyond.

In his opening remarks, Party chief To Lam stressed that the matters to be deliberated and adopted at the meeting would establish the “legal corridors,” “operational rules,” “disciplinary principles,” and “standards of action” necessary to translate the Party's resolution into practice and lay a solid foundation for achieving the nation’s two centenary strategic goals.

He noted that the meeting must address a wide range of urgent and complex tasks requiring immediate action. Key discussions include the working program of the 14th Party Central Committee for the entire tenure; working regulations of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo and the Secretariat; regulations guiding the implementation of the Party Statures; regulations on the Party's inspection, supervision and discipline work; operational regulations of the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission; and provisions on the political and ideological work within the Party.

Participants will also review the Party Central Committee's major resolutions on inspection and supervision as well as the prevention and control of corruption, wastefulness and negative phenomena.

The meeting is also scheduled to consider personnel affairs for State agencies for the 2026-2031 term and provide opinions on the five-year socio-economic development plan, national financial plan and medium-term public investment plan for 2026-2031, along with other key national issues.

According to the agenda, the meeting will run until Friday.
