		</div><p>Vietnamese President To Lam was confirmed on Saturday as the new chief of the Communist Party after his predecessor died on July 19.</p>
<p>Mr Lam will be the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the country’s most powerful political role, state media said.</p>
<p>It was unclear if Mr Lam will stay in his role as president.</p>
<p>The previous general secretary, Nguyen Phu Trong, dominated Vietnamese politics since he became party chief in 2011.</p>
<p>He was elected to a third term as general secretary in 2021.</p>
<p>He was an ideologue who viewed corruption as the gravest threat facing the party.</p>
<p>Mr Lam spent over four decades in the Ministry of Public Security before becoming the minister in 2016.</p>
<p>As Vietnam’s top security official, Mr Lam led Mr Trong’s sweeping anti-graft campaign until May, when he became president following the resignation of his predecessor, who stepped down after being caught by the campaign.</p>
