On January 21, the 14th National Party Congress entered its third working day.

Previously, the Congress officially opened on the morning of January 20, 2026, at the National Convention Center in Hanoi.

Presenting the report of the 13th Party Central Committee on documents submitted to the Congress, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the 14th National Party Congress is an exceptionally important political event for the entire Party, people and armed forces.

According to the General Secretary, the Congress theme "Unity – Democracy – Discipline – Breakthrough – Development" serves as a call to action and a historic responsibility.
