Tran Dai Quang was sworn in as Vietnam’s president for the second time in four months after being re-elected on Monday by the country’s rubber-stamp National Assembly.
Quang, who was first elected president in early April by the outgoing assembly, won 485 votes from the 494 deputies of the Communist Party-dominated assembly, the government said on its website. Vietnam’s top leaders include the Communist Party chief, the president and the prime minister, though the position of president is more ceremonial than the other two.
