The Congress discussed and adopted a Political Resolution and elected 125 members of the National Council, 31 members of the CPI Central Committee and 11 Politburo members. Doraisamy Raja was re-elected as General Secretary of the 24th CPI Central Committee.

In a reception for the Vietnamese delegation, Raja spoke highly of the CPV’s role, reputation and leadership experience. He hailed achievements Vietnam has obtained in the "Doi moi" (renewal) process as a great source of encouragement in the common struggle of the world's people for peace, national independence, democracy and social progress.

He expressed his wish to further strengthen solidarity, friendship and cooperation between the two Parties and people of India and Vietnam.

On the occasion, the Vietnamese delegation met with leaders of several political parties in the world, including the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the President of the Communist Party of Bangladesh, the Vice Chairperson of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist), and Secretary of the Portuguese Communist Party Central Committee, during which they discussed measures to reinforce ties among parties and localities.
