The death of Vietnam's longest-serving general secretary, Nguyen Phu Trong, is expected to bring significant changes to Vietnamese politics. He earned international trust through anti-corruption efforts and maximized Vietnam's national interests by maintaining relations with surrounding major powers through pragmatic balanced diplomacy. However, his death has created a chaotic power structure, raising concerns and expectations about the new leadership. Questions arise about whether the new leadership, composed of security officials, will effectively manage the country's affairs and whether the existing foreign policy will remain unchanged. The tension between past conflicts during Trong's re-election and economic growth is also highlighted again. Vietnam's future depends on the new leadership's choices and the public's response. How will these changes affect Vietnam's economic growth and international standing?
