 Ha Noi (VNA) – Nguyen Minh Triet was re-elected as State President of Viet Nam with 98.78 percent of votes at the July 24 morning seating of the first session of the 12th National Assembly.
Delivering an oath-taking speech, the President spoke of his major tasks for the new term with emphasis on building a law-governed socialist State of the people, by the people and for the people.
“Our State must function as a main tool to implement the people’s democratic rights under the Party’s leadership,” said President Triet.
He pledged to cooperate with the 12th NA in building and perfecting the law system, raising the quality of the implementation of its rights to supervise, consider and make decisions on the country’s important issues.
He also reiterated his resolve to step up the country’s economic, social and cultural development to actively and dynamically integrate into the international economy, to accelerate reform in the judicial and administrative system and intensify the fight against corruption and wastefulness.
President Triet recommended Nguyen Thi Doan, Permanent Deputy Chairwoman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Inspection and 12th NA deputy of northern Ha Nam province as candidate for the post of Vice State President, and Nguyen Tan Dung, Prime Minister during the 11th NA, for the post of Prime Minister.
He also introduced Deputy Minister of Public Security Truong Hoa Binh to the post of Chief Judge of the People’s Supreme Court and Vice Director of the People’s Supreme Procuracy Tran Quoc Vuong to the post of Director.
According to the agenda, the NA deputies will discuss the recommendations in group in the afternoon and gather at the July 25 morning plenary session to cast their votes for the posts of Vice State President, Prime Minister, Chief Judge of the Supreme Court and Director of the Supreme Procuracy.-Enditem
