00:00In the first session of the 16th National Assembly, Tho Lam, the party general secretary was elected as Vietnam state
00:06president for the 2026-2031 term with 100% of attending deputies voting in favor.
00:12The newly elected state president took the oath of office and delivered an inaugural address.
00:17In a sense, party general secretary and state president Tho Lam pledged absolute loyalty to the fatherland, its people and
00:23its constitution and committed himself to fulfill the duties entrusted to him by the party, state and people.
00:29He previously served as state president from May 2024 until he was replaced by former state president Luan Quong in
00:35October 2024.
00:46I profoundly recognize that to assume the responsibility of party general secretary and the central committee of the Communist Party
00:54of Vietnam and state president of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an honor of the highest order, a sacred
01:00duty and solemn obligation.
01:02And at the same time, an expression of the trust and expectation placed by the entire party, the people and
01:09the armed forces in the one who leads both the party and the state.
01:13Together with the party, the people and the armed forces, and especially with the party central committee, I shall steer
01:19the vessel of revolution through all great waves and storms, reaching our destination in due course and fulfilling the lifelong
01:26aspiration of President Ho Chi Minh and the people.
01:30Together with the party.
