Fourth session of 13th Party Central Committee opens

Participants observed a minute’s silence in commemoration of people, officers and soldiers who died during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At this session, the Party Central Committee will focus on discussing COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control and the viewpoints and policies on this work in the new situation; socio-economic situation in 2021 and socio-economic development plan in 2022; the implementation of the state budget in 2021, the state budget estimate in 2022 and the financial-state budget plan for 2022 - 2024; and the policy on delaying the implementation of salary policy reform under Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW of the 7th Plenum of the 12th Party Central Committee.

This session also seeks to intensify Party building and rectification and the fight against degradation of political ideology, morality and lifestyle, and internal “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” manifestations.

The Central Committee will make adjustments and supplements to the regulations on things that Party members are not allowed to do, and consider several other important issues.

The session will last until October 7./.
