HANOI: Former Politburo member and former State President Tran Duc Luong—born on May 5, 1937—has passed away at 10:51pm on Tuesday (May 20) at his private residence, aged 88, after a period of illness, the Specialised Council for Protection of Central-level Officials' Health announced on Wednesday (May 21).
Despite the dedicated treatment provided by the Party, the State, a team of professors and medical doctors, and the devoted care of his family, his advanced age and declining health ultimately led to his passing.
