Nguyen Xuan Phuc

Nguyen Xuan Phuc was appointed as Prime Minister of Vietnam by the National Assembly. He succeeded Nguyen Tan Dung and took office during a period of economic growth and international integration.

Nguyen Xuan Phuc signed the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, which eliminated nearly all tariffs between Vietnam and the European Union. The agreement boosted Vietnam's exports and deepened economic integration with Europe.

Nguyen Xuan Phuc was elected as President of Vietnam by the National Assembly, succeeding Nguyen Phu Trong. He became the second-highest-ranking leader in the country, holding the largely ceremonial role.

Nguyen Xuan Phuc resigned as President of Vietnam, taking responsibility for corruption scandals involving his subordinates during the COVID-19 pandemic. His resignation was part of the broader anti-corruption campaign.
