Summary 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) The Communist Party opened its 10th National Party 
Congress (NPC) April 18 with a five-year review of Party 
achievements and failures that included a reference to an 
ongoing corruption scandal that has claimed a number of high- 
level officials (Ref A).  The final draft of the Party's 
Political Report, currently being considered for adoption at 
the NPC, appears to be little changed from a previous draft 
that had been circulated for public review.  It paves the 
way for Party members to engage in capitalist activities.  A 
modest change in the way the Party will select its General 
Secretary has also been introduced:  the Central Committee 
 
SIPDIS 
will now nominate the new Party General Secretary based on a 
"survey" of the NPC's 1,176 delegates.  The new Politburo, 
Party Secretariat and General Secretary will be announced on 
April 25.  End Summary. 
 
Party Begins Congress on a Contrite Tone 
---------------------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) The Communist Party of Vietnam's (CPV) 10th 
National Congress opened April 18 with a speech by Party 
General Secretary Nong Duc Manh that extolled the 
achievements of the past five years, including high economic 
growth, domestic stability and secure external relations. 
However, Manh said, significant problems remain:  the 
country's economic growth has not matched its potential, and 
Vietnam's competitiveness is still weak; economic 
restructuring has moved at a snail's pace; outdated social 
and cultural policies remain; and, the country has been slow 
to develop its human resources and "reform its political 
system."  In a direct reference to the ongoing PMU-18 
scandal (Ref A), Manh noted that, "several officials and 
Party members holding high positions lacked capability, 
responsibility, and moral fiber and thus could not fulfill 
their duties." 
 
Political Report 
---------------- 
 
3. (SBU) Among the tasks ahead for the 1,176 NPC delegates 
are to discuss and approve the Party's Political Report (Ref 
B), the final draft of which has been circulated among 
congress participants and is now available online (in 
Vietnamese) at www.cpv.org.vn.  A rough comparison by 
Embassy Hanoi and ConGen HCMC of this final draft with an 
earlier version shows that not much has changed, and that 
the month-long campaign to canvass public opinion (Refs C 
and D) appears to have had little impact on the report's 
contents.  Nevertheless, it still makes reference to 
allowing Party members to engage in capitalist activities, a 
significant, but overdue, recognition of current realities 
in Vietnam.  Deputy Prime Minister Vu Khoan underlined the 
importance of this matter to the Party when he told the 
press on April 19 that Party members must be able to do 
business "without restrictions." 
 
A Slightly New Way of Doing Things 
---------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Although the Party does not appear ready to adopt 
the rumored "direct election" of the General Secretary by 
the NPC's assembled delegates, there will nonetheless be a 
modest change in the selection process.  The delegates will 
continue as before to elect the new Central Committee, which 
in turn will nominate the General Secretary and elect the 
Politburo and Party Secretariat.  However, on April 17, 
Party Ideology and Cultural Commission Deputy Director Dao 
Dzuy Quat announced that the 1,176 delegates will vote on 
the Central Committee and then each will submit a form with 
their personal nominations for General Secretary.  The 
Central Committee will then consider potential General 
Secretary nominees based on this "survey," and the new 
 
SIPDIS 
Politburo will make the final decision.  The election for 
the new Central Committee will take place on April 23, and 
the new General Secretary, Politburo and Party Secretariat 
will be announced on April 25, the closing day of the NPC. 
 
Comment 
------- 
 
5. (SBU) The introduction of a new factor in the selection 
of the Party's leadership, while modest, will no doubt be 
trumpeted by the Party as "advancing democracy."  We will 
reserve on judgment on this and to what extent, if any, this 
 
HANOI 00000895  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
new nomination process impacts the ultimate selection of a 
new Party chief.  End Comment.
