HANOI: Vietnam’s president has stepped down and been ousted from the Communist Party’s top bodies in an unparalleled shakeup, as party secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s anti-corruption purge casts an ever-widening net.
Nguyen Xuan Phuc submitted his resignation after the Party found him responsible for violations and wrongdoing of numerous officials under him, the country’s official news agency said on Tuesday.
