HANOI (AFP): Vietnamese social media users changed their profile pictures to black on Saturday in a show of mourning for the country's late leader Nguyen Phu Trong, whose death was announced the previous day.
Users on Facebook, X and Threads also posted photos and eulogies of the former Communist Party general secretary after Vietnam's state media announced on Friday that the 80-year-old had died at a military hospital in Hanoi "due to old age and serious illness".
