Vietnam's To Lam was re-elected Friday as the general secretary of its ruling Communist Party. The decision came at the conclusion of the National Party Congress, the country's most important political conclave.
No announcement was made about whether he will also become president. If To Lam were to get both positions, he would be the country's most powerful leader in decades, in a manner similar to that of Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The Congress was framed by Vietnam's defining national question: whether the country can transform itself into a high-income economy by 2045. During the meeting, Vietnam set a target of average annual GDP growth of 10 percent or more from 2026 to 2030.
The gathering brought together nearly 1,600 delegates to define Vietnam's political and economic direction through 2031. It also confirmed a slate of senior appointments, electing 19 members to the Politburo, the country's top leadership body.
