Nguyen Xuan Phuc elected Vietnam PM
Vietnam's Parliament on Thursday elected Nguyen Xuan Phuc as the country's Prime Minister. Phuc was approved to be the PM after 446 of the 490 valid votes in the National Assembly were cast in his favour. This comes just after 84% of the Parliament "agreed to dismiss" former PM Nguyen Tan Dung, three months before the end of his term.
