HANOI, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- The 13th Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) on Sunday re-elected Nguyen Phu Trong as the general secretary of the CPVCC, Vietnam News Agency reported.

The election took place at the first meeting of the newly-elected 13th CPVCC on Sunday during the ongoing 13th CPV National Congress scheduled from Jan. 25 to Feb. 1.

The CPVCC Politburo was also elected at the meeting, with 18 members including Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Head of the CPVCC Organization Commission Pham Minh Chinh and Secretary of the Hanoi Municipal Party Committee Vuong Dinh Hue.

Also on Sunday, the secretariat and inspection commission of the CPVCC were elected. Tran Cam Tu was re-elected head of the CPVCC Inspection Commission, according to the news agency.

A total of 1,587 delegates representing over 5.1 million members of the CPV are attending the national congress held in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi.
