Vietnam’s Minister of Finance Dinh Tien Dung has been named chief of the Hanoi Party Committee this week, taking over from his predecessor Vuong Dinh Hue, who had been elected as chairman of the legislature.
Dung received a Politburo decision to appoint him to the post from Vo Van Thuong, a top Party official, in Hanoi on Saturday.
“I’ll try my best to complete the political missions assigned by the Party, state, and capital’s people,” Dung said during the handover ceremony.
