On Friday September 21st, 2018 President Tran Dai Quang of Vietnam died at the age 61. According to state-controlled Vietnam News Agency said the death resulted from an unspecified “serious illness.” Nguyen Quoc Trieu, a government doctor, was quoted by the state news media as saying that Mr. Quang had died of “a rare and serious viral disease” at a military hospital in Hanoi, the capital. It is rare for a sitting Vietnamese president to die in office. From this death it will leave a political vacuum on the Politburo (committee of a Communist Party).
