Vietnam’s Communist Party has nominated Vo Van Thuong, 52, as the country’s next president, according to sources.
The Vietnamese Communist Party has nominated Vo Van Thuong as the country’s new president, two party sources told the Reuters news agency, following the forced resignation in January of his predecessor as part of a sweeping anti-corruption campaign in the country.
The government in a statement on Wednesday said the party’s Central Committee had agreed on a nomination for president but did not name the candidate.
