On July 28, 2026, the CPV Central Committee promulgated Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW on the innovation of Vietnam’s development model.
According to the Resolution, to realize the aspiration of making Vietnam a developed, high-income country by 2045 and lay the foundation for the country’s vision for its next 100 years of development under the CPV’s leadership (2030–2130), the CPV Central Committee promulgated the Resolution on innovating the country’s development model based on the following guiding viewpoints:
(1) Innovating the development model in association with building and improving the development ecosystem is a strategic task of historic significance to the successful building of socialism in Vietnam. It is necessary to remain steadfast in, creatively apply, and develop Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought; remain steadfast in the goals of national independence and socialism, the CPV’s reform policy, and the principles governing the CPV’s organization and operation; ensure the CPV’s comprehensive, absolute, and direct leadership; promote the State’s role in facilitating development; harness the strength of the great national unity bloc; and strengthen the role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations in supervision and social criticism and in building social consensus.
(2) Innovating the development model primarily involves achieving institutional breakthroughs and innovating the methods of national organization, governance, and operation to create new development capacity; transitioning to a self-reliant, innovative, humane, sustainable, and integrated development model; regarding people as the central actors, goal, and driving force of development; and consistently pursuing the enhancement of the country’s aggregate strength and national potential and the improvement of the people’s quality of life and happiness. Science, technology, innovation, digital transformation, and national artificial intelligence shall serve as the primary driving forces. Improving labor productivity and the effectiveness of mobilizing and allocating national resources shall constitute central principles. Development shall promote stability, while stability shall facilitate development, thereby ensuring rapid, sustainable, and inclusive economic development. National construction shall be closely associated with national defense. Economic development shall be combined with the consolidation of national defense and security and the promotion of foreign affairs throughout every stage, from strategy formulation to planning and resource allocation, thereby ensuring that national defense, security, and foreign affairs accompany and promote development.
(3) The innovated development model shall operate synchronously under the mechanism of “the CPV’s leadership, the State’s management, and the people’s mastery.” It shall be founded on modern national governance and a harmonious and effective relationship among the State, the market, and society. Development shall be organized within an integrated, multi-layered, and interconnected space that fosters linkages and spillover effects. Socio-economic development associated with environmental protection shall be regarded as the central task; building a comprehensively clean and strong CPV and political system as the key task; cultural and human development as the foundation, resource, endogenous driving force, and source of national soft power; and the strengthening of national defense and security and promotion of foreign affairs and international integration as essential and regular tasks.
(4) The development model shall be innovated with a long-term vision and the aspiration to build a strong, democratic, prosperous, civilized, and happy country and a disciplined, safe, civilized, harmonious, and progressive society. The new development model shall maximize the country’s potential, advantages, traditions, identity, confidence, and the strength of the great national unity bloc; inspire the will, creativity, and aspiration of Vietnamese people to contribute; and mobilize and effectively utilize all development resources, with internal resources playing the decisive role and external resources playing an important role in creating breakthroughs. The strength of the nation shall be combined with the strength of the times. Strategic autonomy, resilience, adaptability, recovery capacity, and risk governance shall be enhanced, while national capacity shall be continuously strengthened to ensure the country’s rapid, sustainable, and enduring development.
(5) The development model shall be innovated synchronously and comprehensively in a manner appropriate to each stage, ensuring that the development pillars are organically interconnected as a unified whole. Institutional innovation and national governance innovation shall constitute the breakthrough. The mindset shall shift from management and control to facilitating and leading development. Governance shall be based on objectives, development spaces, interconnected cooperation, data, policy responsiveness, and measurement according to development outcomes and impacts. Coordination effectiveness, the quality of services provided to the people and enterprises, and problem-solving capacity shall serve as the benchmarks for evaluation.
