Communist Party of Vietnam

Nguyen Xuan Phuc has become the first Vietnamese president to resign from office, amid an ongoing graft scandal linked to the country's COVID-19 response. 

The country's National Assembly will reportedly hold a meeting tomorrow that could result in the removal of more high-level officials.

His reappointment for a third term will help Vietnam hold fast to its current political and economic trajectory.

The party is highly secretive and citizens are not even allowed to publicly discuss candidates.

Amid a pandemic and shifting geopolitical winds, Vietnam’s next leaders will be of crucial importance for the country’s future.

Hanoi has had to tread carefully during a fraught period of transition in Washington.

The late night arrest of the activist and writer Pham Doan Trang followed an annual human rights dialogue with U.S. officials.

As the Communist Party of Vietnam moves toward its next National Congress, the list of candidates for key posts is narrowing.

Over the last three decades, the CPV has gradually institutionalized its control over the armed forces.

The success of its COVID-19 strategy has, so far, increased trust in the Vietnamese government, but it could create demand for transparency in other political issues in the future.

Bold action is needed to address the country’s problem.
