Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of Vietnam
The Central Military Commission (CMC, ) is an organ of the Communist Party of Vietnam, which is the highest body in Vietnam on military policy and heads the People's Army of Vietnam (PVAN). Its membership includes some members of the Politburo and military leaders. The CMC is headed by a secretary, currently Nguyễn Phú Trọng, who is also the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. History 
Since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the norm has been that at least two PVAN generals are to be represented in the Party's Politburo, however, beginning in 1975 the number of PVAN generals represented in the Central Committee has slowly decreased. The PVAN has played a big role in economic development; in 1993 PVAN generals held five out of thirty-three ministries. Because of the army's role in economic development, the Ministry of Defence established the General Directorate for Economic Development. Functions 
The Statute of the Communist Party of Vietnam says that the PVAN is "under the party's absolute, direct, comprehensive leadership". The membership of the CMC is appointed by the Central Committee. The CMC is responsible to the Party's Politburo and the Secretariat. Its main priority is to supervise party affairs within the PVAN, from the very bottom to the top, which is represented by the General Political Department. Publications 
The Commission publishes the People's Army Newspaper together with the Ministry of National Defence. Central Military Commission (2020–2025)
