Bangkok: To Lam, Vietnam’s top security official, will be the country’s new president. His name for the post of President was confirmed on Wednesday. To Lam has conducted numerous police and intelligence operations while serving as a top security official. At the same time, organizations working in the field of human rights say that basic freedoms have been systematically suppressed. Vietnam’s intelligence service has also been accused of violating international laws. Lam, 66, has been a top security official and has taken a tough stance on human rights movements in the country.
changes at the top level
Vietnam’s National Assembly confirmed Lam for president after her predecessor resigned amid the country’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign. The anti-corruption campaign has shaken the leaders and industrialists of the country and in view of this, many changes have been made at the top level in the government.
what do experts say
Vietnam’s presidency is largely ceremonial, said Nguyen Hac Giang, an analyst at Singapore’s ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. In his new role as head of state, Lam appears to be in a ‘very strong position’ to become general secretary of the Communist Party. This is the most important political post in the country. (AP)
