To Lam Secures New Presidential Term


(MENAFN) Vietnam’s National Assembly on Tuesday unanimously chose Communist Party General Secretary To Lam as the nation’s state president for the upcoming five-year period.

His selection signals a continuation of his leadership at the highest levels of government.
According to a local news outlet, this appointment represents Lam’s second term in the presidency, following a brief stint in 2024. He is set to hold the presidential role for the 2026–2031 term while simultaneously maintaining his position as general secretary.

During his 18-month tenure as party chief, Lam has directed key policy initiatives through the Central Committee, Politburo, and Secretariat, all designed to speed up Vietnam’s economic and social progress. His leadership has focused on strengthening governance and shaping long-term national strategies.

Among the primary objectives under his guidance are two ambitious milestones: transforming Vietnam into an upper-middle-income nation with a modern industrial base by 2030, and ultimately achieving high-income, developed country status by 2045.

In addition, Lam has carried out broad administrative changes, including reorganizing state institutions and cutting down the number of provinces and cities, with the aim of improving efficiency and governance.
