Vietnam's National Assembly to Appoint New Leaders Amid Political Turbulence

Vietnam's National Assembly will vote on appointing three new deputy prime ministers and dismissing two in a one-day extraordinary meeting. The assembly will also appoint new environment and justice ministers. This follows a period of political upheaval with resignations of top officials due to accusations of wrongdoing.

Vietnam's National Assembly is set to make significant changes in its leadership structure during an extraordinary one-day session in Hanoi on Monday.

The assembly will vote to appoint three new deputy prime ministers and dismiss two, alongside appointing a new environment minister and a new justice minister. These moves come after a period marked by the resignation of two state presidents and a parliament speaker amid allegations of wrongdoing.

Currently, Vietnam has four deputy prime ministers under Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. The Monday vote will increase that number to five, reflecting the country's ongoing efforts to stabilize its political landscape.
