The Central Committee also approved new regulations of the 14th Party Central Committee on activities prohibited for Party members, replacing Regulation No. 37 issued by the 13th Party Central Committee.
The regulations are intended to strengthen the framework for early identification and timely prevention of violations, while improving the effectiveness of inspection, supervision and Party disciplinary enforcement, particularly in relation to emerging violations in cyberspace and those arising during digital transformation and organizational restructuring.
The regulations are also considered an important tool for strengthening efforts to prevent and combat corruption, wastefulness and misconduct, while protecting officials willing to think boldly and take action for the common good.
Regarding the resolution on renewing Vietnam’s development model, the Central Committee said that realizing the aspiration of turning Vietnam into a developed, high-income country by 2045, while laying the foundation for the country’s next 100-year development vision under the Party’s leadership from 2030 to 2130, requires a transformation of the national development model with specific targets for 2030, 2035 and 2045.
Under the vision toward 2130, Vietnam is to become a highly developed socialist country that is civilized, modern and distinctive, with strong innovative capacity and enduring vitality.
On the resolution concerning the National Security Strategy, the Central Committee assessed that the evolving context presents new requirements for national security and its protection, demanding new thinking and approaches at a higher level. The task involves not only protecting and maximizing national interests and effectively identifying, preventing and addressing risks and challenges, but also creating a foundation for rapid, sustainable and high-quality development.
Regarding the resolution on building a disciplined, safe, civilized, harmonious and developed society, the Central Committee affirmed that this is a cause for the entire population under the Party’s leadership and an important pillar of the country’s development model in the new era.

It continues to uphold the fundamental viewpoints and objectives of Resolution No. 18 of the 13th Party Central Committee on further reforming and improving institutions and policies, and enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of land management and use to create momentum for Vietnam to become a developed, high-income country.
At the same time, several viewpoints, objectives, tasks and solutions will be adjusted or supplemented to further modernize land legislation in a coordinated, transparent and feasible manner, unlock resources, contribute to double-digit growth and support rapid and sustainable development.
