Vietnam appoints new deputy prime ministers amidst political turmoil

Vietnam has appointed three new deputy prime ministers, marking a significant shift in Vietnam‘s leadership during a period of political upheaval.

This latest development comes on the heels of a series of high-level changes within the ruling Communist Party.

Vietnam historically known for its political stability, has experienced unprecedented turmoil since 2021.

This instability can be attributed to an aggressive anti-corruption campaign initiated by the previous leadership.

President To Lam, who was recently appointed as general secretary of the Communist Party following the death of his predecessor, Nguyen Phu Trong, has been instrumental in overseeing these changes.
