Luong Cuong, New President of Vietnam
Summary: Luong Cuong, a 67-year-old military general, has been elected as the new president of Vietnam, marking the country’s fourth president in 18 months. His appointment follows significant political upheavals, including the death of former party general secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, known for his intense anti-corruption campaign. Cuong, who brings over 40 years of military experience, is expected to stabilize the political environment, especially ahead of the 2026 Party Congress. However, concerns about increased government repression under his leadership persist. His role as president is largely ceremonial, with the general secretary holding more power.
