Big changes as Vietnam replaces more top figures, to elect new president in October; parliament approves move on Monday


HANOI (Reuters): Vietnam's parliament on Monday approved another major reshuffle of senior positions in the government of the Communist-run country as it prepares to elect a new president in October, the third in less than two years.

Previously known for its political stability, Vietnam has seen repeated changes at the top in the last two years or so, culminating earlier in August in the appointment of state president To Lam as party chief, the most powerful job in the country.
