“It is not only about defining the objectives and guidelines for the 2026-2030 period, but also about making strategic decisions that will shape the future and destiny of the nation in the coming decades,” Cuong said in his opening address at the major event, which is being attended by 1,586 delegates representing more than five million party members.

The head of State noted that the party conclave “aims to ignite the national aspiration for development, pride, and resilience; mobilize all resources and engines of growth; and enhance the strength of the people and the great bloc of national unity in conjunction with the strength of the times.”

It also aims to boost comprehensively and in a coordinated manner the renewal, construction, development process, and defense of the Homeland, successfully achieving the goal of building a powerful nation on par with the world’s great powers, in accordance with the aspirations of President Ho Chi Minh and the entire Vietnamese people.

Cuong stressed that the 14th Congress marks the beginning of a new era of national development and reflects the unwavering resolve, firm political will, and the spirit of great unity of the entire people, with a view to building a peaceful, independent, democratic, strong, prosperous, civilized, and happy Vietnam, steadily advancing toward socialism.
