The National Assembly (NA) last Monday elected Vietnamâs new prime minister and new state president. The NA passed a resolution appointing Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc as the state president, and another resolution on assigning Pham Minh Chinh, Chairman of the Central Organisation Commission, to be the prime minister, both for the 2021-2025 tenure.
After the ballot, the new leaders took the oath of office, vowing to âbe completely faithful to the country, people, and the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnamâ.
Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. - Vietnam News/ANN HANOI, April 5 (Reuters): After Vietnam s ruling Communist Party chief was elected for a rare third term in January, Vietnam now confirmed the nomination of a new president and prime minister to head one of Asia s fastest growing economies for the next five years.
Vietnam has no paramount ruler and is officially led by four pillars : the powerful General Secretary of the Communist Party, a largely ceremonial president, a governing prime minister and the chair of its National Assembly.
The main candidates for each post had all been widely known in Hanoi s political circles, but were officially declared top secret in December last year in order to discourage potentially critical debate.
Vietnam's National Assembly confirmed Pham Minh Chinh, a career security official, as the south east Asian country's next prime minister at an official ceremony on Monday.
