The Vietnamese Congress (October 21) Elected the Army General and the executive secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Vietnam Communist Party as the new President.
Liang Qiang, 67, will take over Su Lin's position.Su Lin was appointed as the President of the State in May, and then after the death of the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, Ruan Fuzhong took over as the General Secretary in August.
Liang Qiang promised to strengthen national defense forces and promote independent and multilateral foreign policies.He emphasized that it is necessary to maintain and strengthen the unity within the party and build a clean, powerful, and true socialist rule of law.
Liang Qiang is the fourth President of Vietnam in the past two years.The anti -corruption campaign initiated by Ruan Fuzhong allowed Ruan Chunfu and Wuwen to reward the two former presidents of the former state chairman within two years, causing political turmoil.
It is worth noting that before being elected as the President of the State, Liang Qiang visited Beijing from October 9th to 12th, and ChinaThe official meeting and held talks with Cai Qi, the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the President of the Central Committee, the President, the Prime Minister and the President of the Congress are known as the "four pillars" of Vietnamese politics.After Ruan Fuzhong's death, Su Lin was once in his duties of the General Secretary and President of the State.According to Reuters, a number of diplomats say that Su Lin is willing to give up the post of President of the State, which may show that the power sharing and compromise within the party may be shown.
Ruan Qingjiang, editor -in -chief of the Vietnamese Channel of BBC (BBC), said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that due to the turbulence of the position of the President of the State, the more exception allowed Liang Qiang to take office to stabilize the situation."According to the provisions of the party constitution, Liang Qiang's time at the Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam has not fulfilled a complete term and does not meet the requirements of serving as the President of the State."
Ruan Qingjiang said that Vietnam's politics returned to the four pillar patterns, but Su Lin was undoubtedly the first pillar, which was easy to see at the inauguration ceremony."Liang Qiang thanked the party in the inauguration speech, and also mentioned‘ Thank you for his trust in me ’, which means that he cannot sit on a flatness with Su Linping."
Benoit de TregLode, director of the Institute of Strategy of the French Institute of Defense, said in an interview that Liang Qiang, who has the background of the army, means that Vietnam's security institutions are becoming stronger and stronger."Its primary task is to consolidate the power and social stability of the Communist Party."
The new personnel arrangements will be maintained until 2026. At that time, the Vietnam will hold a total of the 14th National Congress to select the new leadership team.
