HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam's Communist Party re-elected to its central committee key policymakers and ministers of the current government on Tuesday, signalling wholesale changes may not ensue after Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung's political exit.

The party congress vote also saw re-election to the committee of several politicians considered by experts as allies of Dung, maintaining the possibility of roles in running a fast-growing country that has committed to major trade pacts and economic reforms.
