The 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam will take place in Hanoi from January 20-28 with the main agenda set around intensifying the building of a strong and pure Party.
Promoting the strength of the whole people and socialist democracy; stepping up reforms comprehensively and synchronously; firmly safeguarding the nation and maintaining a peaceful and stable environment; as well as striving to soon turn Vietnam into a modern industrialised country are among the key contents of the congress.
The event will focus on reviewing the implementation of the 11th Congress’s Resolution, and the outcomes of the 30-year reform cause. It will also define directions, targets, tasks and measures for nation building, safeguarding and development over the next five years.
The new Party Central Committee is expected to consist of 180 official members and 20 alternate members.
