HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam’s lawmaking National Assembly appointed Truong Tan Sang as the communist country’s new president Monday amid challenges at home with the economy and abroad with China over disputed territory in the South China Sea.
Sang, 62, a southerner who was a former mayor and party chief in Ho Chi Minh City, had most recently served as the de facto No. 2 in charge of the Communist Party, running the day-to-day affairs.
His appointment, receiving more than 97 percent of the vote as the sole candidate, was widely anticipated. Monday’s announcement was largely ceremonial since the position was already decided by the party’s elite in January during the secretive Party Congress held every five years.
Sang, from the southern province of Long An, replaces retiring President Nguyen Minh Triet. The presidential role is mostly ceremonial, while the prime minister runs the country’s day-to-day operations.
After giving his acceptance speech, Sang nominated current Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, 61, for a second term, expected to be announced Tuesday. Sang was said to have challenged Dung for the premiership, but he lost out when the leaders were picked in January.
Vietnam is a one-party system that does not tolerate any challenge to its rule, and publicly calling for a multiparty system can result in long prison sentences.
The appointment comes a day after Vietnamese protesters demonstrated against China for the eighth straight week as tensions between the communist neighbors continue to simmer over disputed territory claimed by both countries in the South China Sea.
Sang vowed to “firmly defend the country’s independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity” while also trying to settle territorial border disputes through peaceful means.
Last week, China and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations agreed to a preliminary plan to work together to resolve disputes in the potentially resource-rich South China Sea that’s home to vital shipping lanes.
Vietnam, one of Asia’s fastest-growing countries, also faces domestic pressure as it struggles with wide-ranging economic woes. It is battling huge trade and current account deficits, a weak currency and double-digit inflation that’s squeezing the country’s poor by driving up food prices.
Sang was imprisoned from 1971-73 by the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government when he served as a communist fighter for the north during the Vietnam War. It ended in 1975 when the north seized control of the former southern capital, Saigon, reunifying the country.

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl, President Ms. Rattana Keo, (I like it in the ass)
I live in quiet, beautiful neighbor until a Viet family moved in, then, the cats and the dogs started to disappear.
First, everybody thought the coyotes got them until one day, the garbage collector spilled the contents of that Viet's garbage by accident.
Voila! cats' and dogs' hairs and bones spilled out but there were no skins.
I think every things were eaten up except hairs and bones.
fuken pouch aa kantop ass, aa murderers
This blog would be boring without the shitnamese.
We need to change Cambodia leader too. He has been in power so long.
of course, i agree, but do it the right way, though, no violence is allowed in cambodia, ok! use the terms limit in cambodia, ok because cambodia needs it and is different from vietnam, etc, ok! so, only terms limit law will put in place good ethical government, you know! stop being stupid forever, ok! wake up and smell the coffee, ok! the world is bid out there, you know! stop being a frog in well with outdated mentality, ok! cambodia can change, so can khmer people ok!

Ah Pi Anh is a Vietcong.
And now it shows.
Ah Pi Anh, don’t waste your time here.
Chao oeuy go suck ah Hun Sen’s cock; you will have better luck there.
Ah Pi Anh’s grandpa
Cambodia needs its Independence, Sovereignty and Teritorial Integrity as much as Vietnam needs its,
So it's long overdue that Vietnam respects the Khmer people's longing for Independenece, Sovereinty and Teritorial Integrity of their country.
The change of the Vietnamese presidency is a tactic to court the US regarding South China Sea Issue.
One ugly mathafucka
one glance, thought it was sperm whale.
The Viet just take turn to do some more Robbing and a void the responsibility.
They even give all the credits to the dead Whore Chi Minh.
Samdach Truong Tan Sang will be Hun Xen's new master!!!!! He will take the stearing wheel!!!!
"Vietnam, one of Asia’s fastest-growing countries, also faces domestic pressure as it struggles with wide-ranging economic woes. It is battling huge trade and current account deficits, a weak currency and double-digit inflation that’s squeezing the country’s poor by driving up food prices."
=Is this what the Vietcong experts did to Vietnam? Vietnam has double-digit inflation which is the highest inflation of all Asian country in South East Asia! If these Vietcong experts know any better and they wouldn't choose a fight with China and now their economy is fuck up! Metfone and Viettel can raise their phone rate to help Vietnam economy! ahhahahh
AH HUN SEN is the last fool on Earth to listen to the Vietcong experts! And it won't be long the Vietcong will drag down Cambodia into the same disaster just like the Vietnam war!
(During the Vietnam war, Cambodia get all the bombs and the Vietcong get all the victory!)

Those girls you slept with were Yuon girls. by the way since when you decided to be a man. You were a woman last week, how come?
I fucked with many Viet girls last night in Hanoi but my dick still in erection, more girls for today
Why "Yuon" are so Hated by millions?
Their history is that Yuon massacred Cham, Laotians and Khmers and robbed their countries with no mercy. Yuon threw those bodies to crocodiles to eat. YUON, the masters of SATAN of all EVILS.
The Yue or YUON are the EVILS. Pray to GOD to push these EVIL YUON Back to hell.
The 80% of Vietnamese never believed in God or other religions.
The five communist countries in the world are: North Korea,China,Lao,
Vietnam,and Cuba.They have only one
party because they are communist
dictatorship.They always picked
up from family members and close
friends.
Cambodia has multiparty,but the
rest of parties are ghost parties.
The CPP is a core communist party
in Cambodia.
It was born in 1951.This year is
the sixtieth ceremony of it party.
Can Hun Sen pick up anyone to be PM after him? Maybe,Hun Manet,but
not someone else.
Cambodia is a fool fake Kingdom.
it is a communist state leading by
one party,CPP;and Hun Sen is a
dictator,maybe,for life.
Some blogger said,"Cambodia wants
to change a leader too".But how?
Truong Tan Sang is a Chinese's mold. A lot Chinese espionages inside Communist Viet leaders.
This guy is a pro-China, once said: (his comments were retracted for fear of mass demonstration) How long should we run from our brother Chinese? Sooner or later we have to stop running.
