Biography

Nguyễn Minh Triết (Vietnamese: [ŋwiən˦ˀ˥ mïŋ˧˧ t͡ɕiət̚˧˦]; born 8 October 1942) is a Vietnamese politician who served as the seventh President of Vietnam from 2006 to 2011. He was elected by the National Assembly of Vietnam with 464 votes (94%) in June 2006.

Nguyễn Minh Triết was previously the secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City. The presidency of Vietnam is a ceremonial position and the Politburo decides government policy. Triết was the fourth-ranking member of the Politburo from 2006 to 2011. His term as president expired in July 2011. Senior Politburo member Trương Tấn Sang succeeded him.

At the 10th Party Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam in April 2006, he was nominated President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and confirmed on 27 June 2006 by the National Assembly. On that day, he succeeded Trần Đức Lương. He subsequently proposed Nguyễn Tấn Dũng as the new prime minister.
