Newswire CNN Indonesia also provided coverage of the swearing-in ceremony of new President Nguyen Xuan Phuc, featuring his previous positions and various achievements recorded during his term of office.

The article highlighted President Phuc’s efforts to direct the national economy as it strives toward rapid development, whilst also effectively responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts which have earned plaudits both at home and abroad.

The author of the article also quoted political expert Nguyen Khac Giang of Victoria Wellington University in New Zealand as saying that President Phuc's experience in maintaining relations with the United States under the administration of Donald Trump will serve him in good stead as he conducts foreign affairs in his role as State Vice President.

Daily publication Rmol featured an article highlighting five major targets aimed at promoting Vietnamese reforms under PM Chinh in his first speech following the swearing-in ceremony held on April 5.

The new PM spoke of the importance of Government in boosting national construction and development, whilst also maintaining independence, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, the article said.

He also underscored the need to devise an action plan aimed at implementing the resolutions adopted at the 13th National Party Congress.
