Delivering the closing address, General Secretary Trong stated that success moving forward will strongly encourage the entire Party, army, and people to continue to overcome all difficulties and challenges, and take  advantage of opportunities in order to rapidly turn Vietnam into a developed, high-income, and socialist-oriented nation.

The congress adopted a number of important documents, including a report on national socio-economic development orientations for 2021-2025, a report on guidelines for the 2020 - 2030 national socio-economic development strategy, and a report on the Party building work.  

Most notably, a new 200-member Party Central Committee was elected, representing more than 5 million Party members nationwide. All the new members are competently qualified to take on the responsibility entrusted by both the Party and people.

The congress discussed and approved important decisions aimed at comprehensively carrying out national socio-economic development and national defense tasks in the new stage of development.

The congress affirmed that the Communist Party of Vietnam will continue to persist with and constantly and creatively apply a Marxist-Leninist ideology and Ho Chi Minh’s Thought in line with specific stages in Vietnamese development. It will therefore continue to embark on a policy of national independence and socialism, as well as carrying on the Doi Moi (Renewal) process for the ultimate goal of building a strong country, a democratic, equitable, and civilized society.

Nearly 1,600 delegates to the congress have approved key documents at the closing ceremony.
