Timely and convenient information
To ensure that information about the Congress is conveyed promptly, accurately, and comprehensively, news agencies and media outlets have opened special pages and sections, increased frequency, and comprehensively reformed the content and format of their information.
During the days of the 14th National Congress of the Party, the Press Center served as the workplace for approximately 700 journalists, reporters, and technicians from domestic and international news agencies and media outlets; overseas Vietnamese reporters; and reporters from political parties and participating parties who registered to cover the 14th National Congress.
On the morning of January 19th, Lieutenant General Le Quoc Hung, Member of the Central Committee of the Party and Deputy Minister of Public Security, inspected the work of ensuring the technical infrastructure of the network serving journalistic work at the Press Center of the 14th Party Congress.
At the center, Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung held discussions with journalists and reporters from news agencies and media outlets, along with representatives from the leadership of the XIV Congress Press Center. He requested that relevant agencies ensure smooth infrastructure and network systems during the XIV Congress, creating favorable conditions for reporters and journalists to work effectively.

Ensuring security and safety for the Congress.
Regarding security and safety measures for the Congress, the People's Public Security forces have thoroughly understood and seriously implemented the task of protecting the "Great Event" with the highest sense of responsibility from early on, from afar, with multiple layers and levels, "resolutely preventing any passive or unexpected situations; preventing any mistakes from occurring."
Not only in Hanoi but nationwide, security and safety measures have been comprehensively and synchronously implemented across all aspects of work, starting from the prevention stage. The entire force proactively and regularly inspects and reviews, ensuring that all loopholes and shortcomings are closed; and proactively develops plans to handle potential situations.
Prior to the Congress, the police force deployed personnel, vehicles, and equipment in multiple layers and a tight security formation to strictly protect the Congress venue and the accommodation of delegates; implementing security control plans, regulating traffic flow, and ensuring fire safety...
Recognizing this as a key political task in 2026, the Guard Command (K01) of the Ministry of Public Security, a member of the Congress Security Subcommittee, proactively monitored and predicted the situation early and from afar, and coordinated with functional units to conduct a comprehensive survey of the accommodation and living arrangements of delegates, travel routes, and the congress venue.
As the leading unit in security work, the Department for Security of Special Events and International Guests (under K01) coordinated with relevant units to finalize the security control plan at the congress hall and all related areas and locations.
Lieutenant Colonel Tran The Viet (Head of the Department for the Protection of Special Events and International Guests) stated that the unit has practiced and rehearsed situational response plans and developed a plan for deploying forces and resources to approach and protect targets using a closed-loop, multi-layered model. In addition, the unit has selected and recruited outstanding officers and experienced personnel, organized training, and assigned specific tasks to each team and group. The force regularly reviews, updates, and refines operational plans and protection plans, and conducts training on handling operational situations to ensure security and safety in all circumstances.
