Vietnam appoints Army General Cuong as new President after long turmoil

Quick Summary:

His appointment took place after months of uncharacteristic tumult in Vietnam's politics and the death of former party general secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, who had dominated the country's leadership since 2011.

Cuong, 67, was elected by the National Assembly to replace To Lam, who remained president even after he was formally appointed as the general secretary of the ruling Communist Party in August.

Vietnam elected Luong Cuong, a military general, as its new president on Monday, the fourth official to fill the role in 18 months.
