Participants at the congress approved important documents of strategic significance to Laos’ development, including a Political Report from the 10th LPRP’s Central Committee, the socio-economic development plan for the 2021-25 period, and the revised Statute of the LPRP.
They elected a new Politburo with 13 members, a Central Committee comprising 71 official members and 10 alternate members, along with a secretariat with nine members and an Inspection Commission with seven members led by Khamphan Phommathat.
Addressing the closing of the congress, the newly-elected General Secretary of the LPRP Thongloun Sisoulith said the congress was a success and emphasised that the whole country must work hard to implement the contents of the congress’s resolution.
The resolution sets six major socio-economic targets: continuous, high quality, and sustainable economic growth of at least 4 percent; higher quality human resources; improvements to the material and spiritual lives of local people; finding a balance between environmental protection and natural disaster risk mitigation; the development of a strong infrastructure network; and ensuring social equality and fairness.
The congress also sketched out eight plans to reach goals over the next five years./.
