The congress is scheduled to take place in January 2026. In preparation, the PCC, Politburo, and Secretariat have organised numerous meetings focusing on the two critical tasks of drafting documents to be presented to and preparing personnel work for the congress.

At the conference, the former leaders opined on key draft reports, including the 13th PCC's Political report, a review report on the five-year implementation of the socio-economic development strategy for 2021–2030 and socio-economic development orientations and tasks for 2026–2030, a summary report on the party-building work and implementation of the Party Statutes, and a summary report on theoretical and practical issues of the socialist-oriented national renewal process over the past 40 years. Many delegates held that the draft reports were well prepared and thoroughly with many fresh perspectives. They suggested further editing to enhance conciseness and coherence in the documents. Some participants urged continuing to refine the draft Political report to better reflect profound changes in both the domestic and global context.

Speaking at the conference, Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the central theme of the congress's documents is advancing national development in the new era. He described the documents as the collective intellectual achievements of the Party, the people, and the army.

In response to specific suggestions, the Party chief clarified several points and requested the congress’s preparatory subcommittees to continue gathering opinions from former Party and State leaders, particularly on complicated and emerging issues to ensure the highest quality of the final drafts.

He noted that the work is crucial to unify new thinking and awareness, serving widespread discussions within the Party and creating a unified bloc of will and action to implement the 14th congress’s resolution.
