HANOI (Bloomberg): Vietnam’s National Assembly dismissed another deputy prime minister for violating anti-corruption rules, continuing an anti-graft campaign spearheaded by the late Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

The parliament accepted the resignation of Le Minh Khai, as the Party Central Committee had earlier this month, according to a TV broadcast of the meeting on Monday.
