Regarding the personnel for the next term, those selected for high-ranking positions would be trained for the time prior to 2021.
Earlier this month, local media quoted President Nguyen Phu Trong as saying that the Party and State are determined to remove from the personnel planning those thirsty for power and exchanging money for promotion, blamed for corruption and his/her spouses and children having bad living style.
In another move, on June 19, a 600-page book about the president was made public.
