Hanoi (VNA) – The 14th meeting of the 11th Party Central Co﷽m♏mittee opened in Hanoi on January 11, scheduled to discuss the signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and finalise personnel preparations for the next tenure.
As the Politburo is set to submit a report on preparations for the TPP signing to the Party Central Committee, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong asked the Committee’s members to scrutinise the TPP negotiations’ outcomes and analyse the trade deal’s impacts.
He told the participants to give opinions about the official signing of the TPP and the submission of the pact to the National Assembly for approval. The design of implementation plans also needs a close look, he said.
Vietnam and 11 other Asian-Pacific countries concluded more than five years of negotiations on the TPP on October 5, 2015. The deal is a new-generation free trade agreement (FTA) with requirements much stricter than existing FTAs and covering both trade – investment issues and related matters.
Regarding personnel issues, following the outcomes of the two previous meetings of the Party Central Committee, the sub-committee on personnel and the Politburo are to propose additional special candidates who are member of the 11th Party Central Committee for positions in the Politburo and Party Secretariat in the 12th tenure.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong requested the participants to thoroughly consider the Politburo’s proposals, and appraise and complete the 11th Party Central Committee’s personnel-related report set to be submitted to the 12th National Party Congress, which will take place in late January.
He also asked for nominations to the four key leading positions in the 12th tenure.

The 11th Party Central Committee has decided to convene the 12th National Party Congress in Hanoi from January 20-28, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong announced.
Diplomatic corps and international organisation representatives are invited to attend the opening and closing sessions of the 12th National Party Congress slated for January 2016 in Hanoi.
Preparations for the 12th National Party Congress have been basically completed to date, said Politburo member and permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Le Hong Anh.
The Party Central Committee's Commission for Internal Affairs reviewed its anti-corruption efforts in 2015 and discussed the implementation of objectives for 2016 during a meeting held on January 8.
In 2019, the Vietnamese association in PEI was established as a non-governmental organisation to support integration and development within the community. It has since organised a range of activities to maintain cultural identity, foster community cohesion, and strengthen ties with the homeland, while also contributing to the development of the host society.
Vietnam’s participation at the meeting underscores the country’s consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification, and proactive international integration in a broad, deep, and effective manner. It also conveys Vietnam’s ambition and determination to enter a new era - the era of the nation’s rise.
The amended law will take effect on July 1, 2025, except for provisions on civil servant evaluation in Section 3, Chapter IV, which will be implemented from January 1, 2026.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s participation at the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Tianjin, China, reflects the Vietnamese Party and Government’s strong commitment to the Vietnam–China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, while injecting fresh momentum into bilateral economic and trade cooperation amid a volatile global economic landscape.
A key amendment was made to Clause 2, Article 16, which now stipulates that a child born to one parent who is a Vietnamese citizen and the other a foreign national shall be granted Vietnamese nationality, if both parents agree to choose Vietnamese nationality for the child during birth registration with competent Vietnamese authorities
PM Chinh's participation demonstrates Vietnam's strong appreciation and support for China. This, in turn, contributes to further promoting the positive development of the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership, aiming to build a Vietnam-China community with a shared future, which carries strategic significance.
At the WEF meeting in Tianjin, Vietnam continues to affirm its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation, as well as its proactive and active approach to comprehensive, extensive, and effective international integration
Vietnam always regards the RoK as an important and long-term strategic partner; and hopes that the two sides will work together to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a more substantive, effective, and comprehensive manner in the coming time.
Within the framework of the Vietnam-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, people-to-people exchanges and local cooperation have been priorities.
The merger of Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, and Ninh Binh aims to shape a modern, vibrant development space with Ninh Binh at its heart, transforming the region into a hub of smart and green industry and services by 2030, while preserving its unique identity as a national heritage centre.
While praising the efforts of ministries, sectors, and localities in tackling smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeiting, and intellectual property violations, PM Chinh acknowledged that in some places and at certain times, there has been lax enforcement and unclear jurisdiction, leading to increasingly complex developments in these issues.
At the working session, General Secretary Lam presented the Party Committee of the VFF and central mass organisations with the Politburo’s Decision No. 304-QD/TW, which outlines the new structure, functions and tasks of the VFF Central Committee, marking a significant step in improving its organisational effectiveness.
Describing the exhibition as a large-scaled, content-rich, and unprecedented event with high requirements and limited preparation time, PM Pham Minh Chinh urged all ministries, sectors, and localities to participate with the highest sense of responsibility, ensuring the exhibition is inclusive, objective, truthful, feasible, and impactful.
Vietnam’s attendance reaffirms its consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification, and comprehensive, intensive, extensive and effective international integration.
Cheng stressed that this is third time PM Chinh has attended the meeting and he is among the few senior government officials participating in this year's event, which is considered as a rare and commendable gesture.
