The announcement was made by the Standing Committee of the National Assembly after the conclusion of the Sixth Extraordinary Session of the 15th National Assembly.
Xuan will hold this position until the National Assembly convenes to elect a new President.
According to reports from the Central Inspection Commission and relevant agencies, former President Vo Van Thuong has violated Party regulations regarding prohibitions for Party members, as well as regulations on the responsibility of officials to set an example, especially members of the Politburo, Secretariat, and the Central Committee of the Party. This has led to negative public opinion and has affected the reputation of the Party and the State.
As a result, Thuong has submitted a letter requesting relief from his assigned duties and work, to which the Party Central Committee has agreed.
