HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam's parliament is set to meet on Thursday to discuss unspecified "personnel issues", according to a letter sent to legislators seen by Reuters, amid speculation of a reshuffle of the Communist-ruled country's top leadership.

Multiple Vietnamese officials and diplomats said the possible resignation of the country's president Vo Van Thuong may be one of the personnel matters the parliament will discuss.
