The Communist Party of Vietnam has introduced new directives aimed at strengthening Party presence and discipline. In August 2026, the Secretariat issued Directive No. 12-CT/TW to improve Party building within the private economic sector. This directive seeks to enhance Party leadership and ties with entrepreneurs and the working class, noting that Party development has not kept pace with the rapid growth of the private sector.

Following this, in September 2026, the Politburo issued Regulation No. 212-QĐ/TW, which establishes new disciplinary rules for Party organizations and members. The regulation mandates that all members are “equal before discipline” and requires timely, public action for violations of Party guidelines or State laws. The new rules specifically address violations related to digital transformation, science, technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence.
