Vietnam's leadership is undergoing significant changes, with Gen. To Lam being appointed as president, and Tran Thanh Man as the chairman of the National Assembly. This comes amidst a power struggle and anticipation of a leadership transition in 2026. Gen. Lam, known for his anti-corruption efforts, is seen as a frontrunner for the top leadership position, despite facing criticism for his involvement in a high-profile kidnapping. The country's political landscape has seen several resignations and removals due to alleged wrongdoing, raising concerns about the use of security apparatus. The anti-corruption campaign initiated by the current party chief has also raised questions about political purges and its impact on decision-making. Despite the upheaval, Vietnam remains an attractive destination for foreign investors, with a rise in foreign direct investment and stock market performance.
