According to Party rules, the Secretariat implements the decisions of the Politburo and the Central Committee.

The members of the Politburo are elected (and given a ranking) by the Central Committee in the immediate aftermath of a National Party Congress. The current Secretariat, the 13th, was elected by the Central Committee in the aftermath of the 13th National Congress and consists of 11 members. The first-ranked member is Nguyễn Phú Trọng, the General Secretary of the Central Committee.
