The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Viet Nam, held from January 19 to 23, 2026 in the capital city of Ha Noi, concluded successfully in a solemn and responsible atmosphere, leaving a profound mark on the country’s political and social life.

In the course of national development, each National Party Congress carries special significance. It is not only a major political event of the Party, but also a milestone of strategic importance for the future of the country and the nation.

Amid profound global changes, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a breakthrough driver of development. Alongside major opportunities, AI also poses unprecedented challenges relating to security, ethics, social trust, and development governance.

Entering a period of peace and development, Viet Nam continues to inspire many countries through its distinctive development path, according to Benjamin Pestieau, Deputy General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB).

The Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV) will play the most crucial role in building peace, as peace is the foundation for prosperity, Director-General of the International Bureau of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Yamaguchi Tsuyoshi has said.

Nguyen Huy Thang, the only overseas Vietnamese (OV) journalist from Germany, hopes that the 14th National Party Congress will be a resounding success, opening a new phase of development marked by significant breakthroughs and helping Viet Nam move forward steadily in the era of the nation’s rise.

In an atmosphere of excitement and pride ahead of a major political event of the nation, in Vientiane, Laos, on the morning of January 20, Laos, the Party Committee in Laos organised a viewing of the live television broadcast of the opening ceremony of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Viet Nam.
