Under the motto “Solidarity – Democracy – Discipline – Innovation – Development,” the event concentrates on reviewing the implementation of the resolution adopted at the 13th congress, setting goals, tasks and orientations in the new tenure.

During the inaugural session, the delegates approved the working agenda and regulations, and reviewed relevant reports.

In their afternoon sitting, the delegates will focus their discussion on strengthening trade unions’ role in representing and protecting legitimate rights and interests of workers; expanding union membership, establishing grassroots unions and improving the quality of trade union officials and promoting Party development among workers; reforming trade unions’ finance and enhancing member welfare; and promoting emulation movements among trade union organisations.

Earlier the same day, the delegates paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his mausoleum, and offered incense at the monument to war heroes and martyrs on Bac Son street.

The congress’s official opening ceremony is slated for June 4 at the National Convention Centre and be broadcast live on Vietnam Television.
