Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong was re-elected General Secretary of the Party Central Committee for the 13th tenure.
At the closing ceremony, General Secretary Trong promised that the newly-elected Party Central Committee will exert its utmost effort to surmount every difficulty, fulfill all duties, uphold traditions and revolutionary achievements, and mobilize the valuable experiences of the Party and the people.
“More will be done to enhance solidarity and unanimity, promote consistency between thought and action, continuously improve revolutionary virtues and ethics, unceasingly strengthen political mettle and work capacity, unwaveringly implement the Congress’s resolution, continue the revolutionary cause in the new period, and meet the aspirations of the Party, the people, and the army,” he said.
“We are aware that honor comes with responsibility. The greater the honor, the greater the responsibility. There will be many opportunities and challenges, some foreseen and some unexpected. So we shouldn’t be complacent. We should be humble and do everything we can to deserve the trust of the Party, the people, and the army. All 200 Committee members for the new term promise to work in unity to put Vietnam on a par with world powers as President Ho Chi Minh wished.”

The Resolution outlined several goals including improving the Party's leadership, ruling capacity, and fighting spirit; building a transparent and strong Party and political system; consolidating the people's trust in the Party, the State and the socialist regime; and inspiring hopes for a prosperous and happy country.
Other goals include promoting the will and strength of great national solidarity; boosting national innovation, industrialization, and modernization, staunchly defending the nation; maintaining a peaceful and stable environment; and making Vietnam a developed, socialist oriented country by the middle of the 21st century.
