In an extraordinary session, lawmakers confirmed the 52-year-old Thuong as president after the ruling Communist Party nominated him on Wednesday. The president in Vietnam is largely a ceremonial job. But it is one of the nation's top four political positions.

Thuong's election follows the sudden resignation of previous president Nguyen Xuan Phuc. Phuc stepped down in January. The party blamed him for "violations and wrongdoing" by officials under his control. His resignation was seen as a major escalation of the country's anti-corruption crackdown.

In his first speech to the parliament as new president, Thuong said he will "resolutely" continue the fight against corruption.
在他作为新总统首次向议会发表讲话时，Thuong 表示他将“坚决”继续打击腐败。
 
"I will be … loyal to the fatherland, the people and the constitution, striving to fulfill the tasks assigned by the party, the state and the people," Thuong said in a statement on Vietnam's state television.
“我将……忠于祖国、人民和宪法，努力完成党、国家和人民赋予的任务，”Thuong 在越南国家电视台的一份声明中说。
 
Thuong is the youngest member of the party's Politburo, the country's top decision-making body. He is considered an established member of the party. He began his political career as a college student in communist youth groups.
Thuong 是该国最高决策机构政治局中最年轻的成员。他被认为是该党的老牌成员。他作为共产主义青年团体的一名大学生开始了他的政治生涯。
 
He is widely thought to have a close relationship with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnam's most powerful leader. Trong is the main official behind the party's battle against corruption.
人们普遍认为，他与越南最有权势的领导人阮富仲总书记关系密切。阮富仲是该党反腐败斗争背后的主要官员。

弗洛里安·费耶阿本德说，反腐运动“在可预见的未来不会降温”。他是德国康拉德·阿登纳基金会驻越南的代表。
 
Diplomats and businesspeople have raised concerns about the anti-corruption campaign because it has limited many normal deals in Vietnam. And officials fear being caught up in the crackdown.
外交官和商人对反腐败运动表示担忧，因为它限制了越南的许多正常交易。官员们担心被卷入镇压行动。
