The decision was adopted during an afternoon plenary session, approving an adjusted program for the Congress. As a result, the Congress is now expected to conclude on January 23 instead of January 25 as originally planned.

Earlier, at a pre-congress press briefing, Politburo member and Standing member of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu said the 14th National Party Congress was scheduled to take place from January 19 to 25, 2026.

However, thanks to what delegates described as an exceptionally focused, scientific and responsible working spirit, many major contents were finalized earlier than expected, paving the way for the shortened timetable.
