At the 2nd Central Conference of the 13th tenure (March 2021), the Central Executive Committee reached a high consensus on the need to promptly complete the leadership positions of State agencies immediately after the Congress to meet the requirements of implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.

The Central Executive Committee reviewed and decided to introduce personnel for the positions of President, Prime Minister, and National Assembly Chairman, and gave opinions on introducing personnel to hold 24 other leadership positions of state agencies. At the 11th Session of the 14th National Assembly (March - April 2021), the National Assembly elected or approved 27 positions. Of which, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Phuc held the position of President, Mr. Pham Minh Chinh was elected Prime Minister, and Mr. Vuong Dinh Hue held the position of National Assembly Chairman.

Speaking at the opening of the 3rd Central Conference of the 13th tenure, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said that after the election of the 15th National Assembly (term 2021 - 2026), the Central Executive Committee is responsible for preparing and continuing to introduce personnel for the 15th National Assembly to elect or approve at the 1st Session of the 15th National Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and laws.

In addition to the positions of President, Prime Minister, National Assembly Chairman and 24 other leadership positions of State agencies that were introduced or approved by the 2nd Conference of the 13th Central Committee with a high number of votes of confidence, the Central Committee also highly agreed with the plan submitted by the Politburo on continuing to perfect the personnel of leadership positions of State agencies for the 15th National Assembly term. The Central Executive Committee agreed to propose and introduce 23 additional personnel to hold a number of State leadership positions for the 2021-2026 term.
