Vietnam’s newly installed Communist Party chief To Lam will relinquish his role as president while overseeing a reshuffle at the top of government following the death of his predecessor.
The National Assembly on Monday separately accepted the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai for violating anti-corruption rules. Parliament also appointed three deputy prime ministers, with Lam to step away from the presidency later this year.
