HANOI, Dec 23 (Reuters) – Senior officials of Vietnam’s Communist Party wrapped up on Tuesday a meeting which finalised decisions on the next top leadership of the country, party chief To Lam said, but no names were released.
Lam is viewed as the leading contender to keep the county’s most powerful post, but formal announcements are expected only at the five-yearly party congress scheduled for January 19-25. He made the announcement in a statement published on the government portal.
