Vietnam Embarks on New Era: Party Central Committee Resolution on Building a Disciplined Society

The Communist Party of Vietnam's Central Committee has adopted Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, dated July 28, 2026, on building a 'disciplined, safe, civilized, harmonious, and developed society' during its 14th Plenum. The resolution was signed by General Secretary and President To Lam on behalf of the Party Central Committee. This resolution serves as a guideline to ensure social stability and sustainable development, considering the increasingly complex domestic and international situations Vietnam faces. Emphasis is placed on strengthening discipline, ensuring security, promoting civilized social norms, fostering harmonious human relationships, and balancing economic and social development. Vietnam has achieved remarkable economic growth in recent years, but it also faces challenges such as widening social disparities, environmental issues, and shifts in the international landscape. Under these circumstances, the Party aims to strengthen the unity of the entire society and build a more robust national foundation. General Secretary and President To Lam also touched upon the implementation of past policies, particularly emphasizing the importance of "creating specific products and values." This indicates a commitment to achieving tangible outcomes that improve the quality of life for citizens and contribute to the overall progress of society, beyond mere economic growth. This resolution reflects the Party's strong determination to control all aspects of society and guide the populace towards achieving national goals under Vietnam's one-party system. Maintaining social stability and harmony while sustaining economic growth is crucial for Vietnam to enhance its influence in the international community. Source: Nhan Dan
