It conveys a message of unity in effort and determination to achieve national goals through to 2030 and to turn Vietnam into a high-income developed country by 2045. 

One of the issues that has drawn particular expectations from officials, Party members, and the public for the 14th National Party Congress is continuing to sharpen the strategy for fast and sustainable economic development, with science, technology, innovation and digital transformation as key driving forces, while prioritizing high-quality human resources to build a prosperous and happy nation.

It is also expected that the 14th National Party Congress will show strong determination to build a truly clean and strong Party and political system, persistently and resolutely combat corruption and negatives, and uphold Party discipline and order so as to meet its leadership requirements in the new situation.

The 14th National Party Congress is also expected to underscore the renewal of thinking in national governance, institutional reform, the building of a socialist rule-of-law State in service of citizens and businesses, while further consolidating national defense and security, and preserving a peaceful and stable environment for development.

These goals represent the collective will, wisdom and aspiration of the entire Party, people and the armed forces for a powerful prosperous country with a democratic equal civilized society. 

People also hold high expectation for the 14th Central Executive Committee of the Party with members, who are typical examples of moral virtues and revolutionary qualities.
