The fourth plenum of the 14th Party Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) concluded in Hanoi on October 8, 2026. Presided over by General Secretary and President To Lam, the meeting focused on strengthening Party leadership, innovating leadership methods, and improving cadre work. The committee approved several key outlines, including a summary of 100 years of Party leadership, a vision for the next 100 years of national development, and a summary of 40 years of implementing the Platform for national construction during the transition to socialism. Key resolutions passed aim to ensure the Party and political system remain ‘clean and strong’ by improving national governance, enhancing organizational capacity, and strictly controlling power to combat corruption, waste, and bureaucracy. On October 15, 2026, President To Lam signed Resolution No. 30-NQ/TW, focusing on building a high-quality cadre workforce. This is part of a unified strategic framework including Resolution 31-NQ/TW on strengthening the Party and political system, and Resolution 29-NQ/TW on innovating leadership methods. During a national conference on October 16, President To Lam directed the implementation of these resolutions, emphasizing that political decisions must translate into tangible economic competitiveness and improved living standards. He called for a shift in personnel management, stating that officials should be evaluated by actual task performance and that ‘inadequate officials should be replaced without waiting for disciplinary violations to occur.’ On October 19, 2026, the Party implemented a restructuring of the Party Committee for Mass Mobilization, the Fatherland Front, and central mass organizations. Under Decision No. 493-QD/TW, signed by Politburo member Tran Cam Tu, the newly named committee (DVMTĐT) will operate directly under the Central Committee, overseen by the Politburo and the Secretariat. The committee is tasked with advising on mass mobilization policies and supervising the implementation of Party resolutions.
