Nguyễn Xuân Phúc

former President of Vietnam

Nguyễn Xuân Phúc held public office at a time when the terms of that office were themselves being contested.

The record lists Nguyễn Xuân Phúc as former President of Vietnam.

Nguyễn Xuân Phúc was born at Quế Sơn in 1954. His recorded nationality is Vietnam. He was educated at National Economics University and National University of Singapore.

Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.

The offices held were member of the National Assembly of Vietnam (2002–2007), Prime Minister of Vietnam (2016–2021) and member of the National Assembly of Vietnam (2011–2016).

His political affiliation is recorded as Communist Party of Vietnam.

Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.

Formal honours included the Order of José Martí.

That the career was made in Vietnam is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.

Nguyễn Xuân Phúc's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
