At the 15th meeting, based on reports submitted by the Politburo, the Party chief urged delegates to thoroughly discuss and contribute opinions to complete the report on personnel affairs for the 14th Party Central Committee to be submitted to the 14th National Party Congress and the first meeting of the 14th Party Central Committee for decision-making and election in accordance with regulations.

The General Secretary emphasised that the personnel preparation and nomination for the 14th Party Central Committee are an especially important task, requiring prudence, accuracy and strict compliance with regulations, as the next Party leadership will shoulder the mission of leading the nation’s development in the new era.

Regarding draft documents for the Congress, he noted that the document sub-committees, the Politburo and the Secretariat had completed the drafts for submission to the 15th meeting. This process reflects an innovative and groundbreaking approach in document preparation, with the widest-ever public consultation, ensuring that collective wisdom and people’s opinions are fully reflected in the 14th National Party Congress's documents.

To ensure that the Congress's documents truly serve as a “guiding light” and “action compass” for the Party and people in the new revolutionary phase, the General Secretary called on Party members and the public to continue contributing constructive opinions. He urged delegates to further refine the Political Report, and other Congress documents, particularly the Party Central Committee’s action programme for implementing the 14th National Party Congress's Resolution.

He also requested careful study of the reports presented by sub-committees as well as the contents submitted by the Politburo and Secretariat to ensure the most thorough preparations for the 14th National Party Congress./.
