Vietnam's president has resigned in the latest episode of a 'blazing furnace' anti-corruption campaign in the communist country.
Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong resigned this week in the latest episode of the ruling Communist Party's “blazing furnace” anti-corruption campaign, and Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan was named acting president. Xuan's appointment Thursday is her second stint as acting president after she stepped in when Thuong's predecessor resigned in early 2023.
