Vietnam Communist Party chief attends parliament session after health concerns
HANOI (Reuters) -Vietnam's top leader, Communist Party head Nguyen Phu Trong, on Monday attended a session of the National Assembly after concerns had been raised for days over his health. Earlier this month, contrary to normal practice, Trong, 79, had not been included in official schedules of meetings held with Vietnam's leaders by visiting Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Laos' Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone. Trong has been at the helm of the ruling Communist Party since 2011 and holds the top job in Vietnam's one-party political system.
