Vietnam’s new leader, To Lam, embarked on his first official state visit to China, meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing. This visit underscores the growing strategic partnership between the two nations, with a focus on economic cooperation and infrastructure development.
Vietnam’s General Secretary To Lam will embark on his first international trip since assuming office, visiting China next week. The visit underlines the strong relationship between the two communist neighbors, despite ongoing tensions over the South China Sea. Lam will meet with President Xi Jinping and other officials, aiming to strengthen economic and trade ties.
Following the death of his predecessor, Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnam’s Communist Party has appointed To Lam as the country’s new general secretary. Lam, previously known for his role in the public security ministry, expressed commitment to continuing anti-corruption efforts. His elevation comes at a pivotal time for Vietnam, and his future as president remains uncertain.
