pham-minh-chinh wskw HANOI, April 5 (Bloomberg): Vietnam’s Communist Party on Monday nominated a little-known official to be the country’s next prime minister, tasked with reviving the economy in the wake of the pandemic while navigating growing US-China tensions.
Pham Minh Chinh (

The National Assembly is expected to approve the 63-year-old, who has also served on a powerful anti-corruption steering committee, later in the day.
Chinh will be the main point person for Vietnam’s interactions with the world even though other members of Vietnam’s Communist Party are better known and seen as more powerful. General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, 76, was re-elected to a rare third term on Jan. 31 by the National Party Congress during the once-in-five-year leadership transition wrapping up this week.

The Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) will convene its 13th Congress between 25 January and 2 February 2021, selecting the nation’s next general secretary.
The General Secretary chairs the Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption (CSCAC), a mechanism that is placed under direct control of the CPV Politburo, and has the duty to ‘direct, collaborate, inspect and promote anti-corruption efforts nationwide’. General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has led the CSCAC for the last eight years but is expected to step down from all positions due to party rules on age and term limits. His successor will set the course for the future of Vietnam’s anti-corruption efforts.
