On [date], the National Assembly of Vietnam approved the resignation of Comrade Su Lin, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, from the position of State President. Comrade Le Duan, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and Permanent Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, was appointed as the State President. At the 8th session of the 15th National Assembly of Vietnam, Le Duan was elected as the new State President of Vietnam.

It is noteworthy that just ten days ago, President Xi Jinping met with Le Duc Tho, who was visiting China. Who is Le Duc Tho? Born in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam, Le Duc Tho has long worked in the political department of the Vietnamese military and is a seasoned veteran in the political arena. He is a distinguished general of the Vietnamese army with significant military achievements. Le Duc Tho joined the Vietnam People's Army, holding positions such as soldier, corps political commissar, and director of the General Political Bureau. He has been awarded the Medal of Glorious Soldier, various Victory Medals, and Military Merit Medals. The late General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Nguyen Phu Trong, once praised him for "possessing strong political determination, excellent moral character, and conscientiously and excellently fulfilling the tasks entrusted to him."

Deeply grounded in theory, Liang Qiang, a political work leader, was responsible for military organization and ideological work during his military service. He is a typical political cadre, a staunch believer and follower of Marxism. Liang Qiang in military uniform. For his outstanding performance in political work, Liang Qiang was successively elected as a member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and then as the Standing Secretary.

A diplomatic leader with rigorous and pragmatic approach. In the realm of diplomacy, Le Dang Doanh continues Vietnam's consistent diplomatic strategy. He places emphasis on developing cooperation with countries sharing the same ideology, such as China and Cuba, hoping to establish a friendly, stable, trusting, and comprehensive cooperative relationship with China. Simultaneously, he strives to maintain a balance between the United States and Russia, promoting enhanced exchanges and cooperation with Russia while hoping that the United States can provide more advanced weaponry and technology.

What impact does the handover have? The "Four Pillars" are expected to operate smoothly. This year, the Communist Party of Vietnam's anti-corruption campaign "The Furnace" has been advancing steadily. In just one month from January to February, half of the "Four Pillars" fell, catching many off guard. Since March, Su Lin and Tran Thanh Man have respectively taken up the positions of President and Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, while Do Van Chien, Nguyen Trong Nghia, Le Minh Hung, Bui Thi Minh Hoai, and Luong Tam Quang have been added to the Political Bureau, effectively filling the vacancies at the top of Vietnam's power structure. In April, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong passed away during his tenure, and Su Lin took on the dual roles of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President of Vietnam, breaking the conventional balance of power in Vietnam. This time, the National Assembly of Vietnam elected Luong Cuong as the President, returning the country to the "Four Pillars" political structure, and it is expected to usher in a period of stability after a series of political tremors.

The military once again polishes its political brand. In Vietnam's political arena, the military is an undeniable force. In the past, Vietnam has seen precedents where the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the President were both individuals with military backgrounds, such as Le Kha Phieu and Le Duc Anh. Following the appointment of former Minister of Public Security To Lam as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Le Minh Khai, a representative figure from the military system, took the position of President. This reflects the Communist Party of Vietnam's deep considerations for factional balance and mutual restraint. This implies that cooperation between the public security and military will be a crucial foundation for the Communist Party of Vietnam's long-term stable governance, and it also foretells that To Lam and Le Minh Khai, both with backgrounds in the police and military, will effectively control Vietnam's political landscape.

Where is Vietnam heading? Due to its significance in the geopolitical landscape, Vietnam has long been a target of pursuit by China, the United States, and Russia, giving rise to Vietnam's choice of "bamboo diplomacy." In the near future, Vietnam will generally continue to seek balance and support points among major powers. On a certain date, President Xi Jinping met with Le Duan in Beijing. However, considering various factors, China is undoubtedly Vietnam's most important strategic partner. The new top leadership of Vietnam has repeatedly made it clear that "relations with China are the top priority." Recently, high-level visits between China and Vietnam have been frequent, sending positive signals about bilateral relations. On a certain date, Su Lin, just half a month after assuming the role of Vietnam's top leader, made his first visit to China. On a certain date, President Xi Jinping personally met with Le Duan, then the Standing Secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Vietnam. On a certain date, Premier Li Qiang visited Vietnam. Under the leadership of the leaders of both countries, the "strategically significant China-Vietnam community with a shared future" is bound to reach new historical heights.
