New Mandate, New Benchmarks - General Secretary To Lam and His Epoch Making Reform Agenda
The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam took place in Hanoi from 19 to 23 January 2026. At the country’s most important political event, more than 1,500 delegates elected a new 200 member Central Committee for the next five years, from which the members of the Politburo are drawn. This year’s Party Congress was pivotal for Vietnam’s development strategy, as it put to the test the most comprehensive reforms since the country’s economic opening in 1986.
