"Vietnam's President Vo Van Thuong Resigns Amid Political Turmoil and Anticorruption Campaign"
Vietnam's President Vo Van Thuong has resigned after a little more than a year in office due to "violations" and "shortcomings", amid an anticorruption crackdown. The governing Communist Party cited that his actions had negatively affected the party and state's reputation. This comes as part of a larger campaign to stamp out widespread corruption, which has also seen several senior politicians fired and top business leaders tried for fraud and corruption.
