Hanoi (VNA) – The 13th-tenure Party Central Committee (PCC) opened a meeting in Hanoi on January 23 afternoon to scrutinise personnel affairs and some other important issues.

At the plenary sitting, Party General Secretary To Lam delivered an opening speech. The PCC later worked on personnel affairs.

In particular, the PCC agreed to let Tran Cam Tu, Politburo member, Permanent member of the PCC Secretariat and Chairman of the PCC’s Inspection Commission, cease holding the chairmanship of the Inspection Commission to focus on performing duties of the Permanent member of the PCC Secretariat.

Three persons were added to the Inspection Commission in the 13th tenure, namely Nguyen Duy Ngoc, Secretary of the PCC and Chief of the PCC Office; Nguyen Hong Linh, member of the PCC and Secretary of the Dong Nai provincial Party Committee; and Doan Anh Dung, Deputy Secretary of the Binh Thuan provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Binh Thuan People’s Committee.

Tran Luu Quang, member of the PCC and Chairman of the PCC’s Economic Commission, was assigned to be a member of the PCC Secretariat.

The PCC agreed to let Duong Van An, member of the PCC, former Secretary of the Vinh Phuc provincial Party Committee and former Secretary of the Binh Thuan provincial Party Committee, cease holding the membership of the 13th-tenure PCC.

After that, the PCC worked in groups to discuss other matters, including a review report on the implementation of the 12th-tenure PCC’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, dated October 25, 2017, on some issues pertaining to the continued reform and streamlining of the political system’s apparatus towards efficiency and effectiveness.

Participants also looked into a report reviewing the Politburo and Secretariat’s leadership and direction in 2024; a supplementary plan on socio-economic development in 2025 that aims for economic growth of at least 8%; and another supplementing the review report on the five-year implementation of the socio-economic development strategy for 2021–2030, along with socio-economic development orientations and tasks for 2026–2030 that target continuous annual double-digit growth during this five-year period./.
