Vietnam’s Communist Party chief said there’s a pressing case to reform the country’s political system and improve the party’s leadership, as officials grapple with the biggest bureaucratic overhaul in decades.
“The country is facing a new historical moment, posing an urgent need to strongly innovate leadership methods,” To Lam said in a government post Tuesday. “The new organizational model must be better and more effective than the old model,” he added.
