Vietnamese reformist president.
Nguyen Minh Triet was elected as the President of Vietnam by the National Assembly. His presidency was noted for promoting economic reforms and international integration, continuing the Doi Moi policy.
Triet made a state visit to the United States, the first by a Vietnamese president since the Vietnam War. The visit aimed to strengthen bilateral trade and diplomatic relations.
Triet supported a campaign against corruption within the Communist Party of Vietnam. Several high-ranking officials were investigated, though the campaign's effectiveness was debated.
