A Vietnamese official informed about the matter confirmed the meeting, but press offices for Vietnam's Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Parliament did not immediately reply to requests for comment. The National Assembly had in 2023 convened a special meeting in January to accept the sudden resignation of then President Nguyen Xuan Phuc, who quit amid a wide and long-running campaign against corruption, which critics said could be used for political infighting.
