Trương Tấn Sang

former president of Vietnam

In the political history of Vietnam, Trương Tấn Sang is one of the names the record keeps returning to.

The record lists Trương Tấn Sang as former president of Vietnam.

Trương Tấn Sang was born at Đức Hòa in 1949. His recorded nationality is Vietnam. He was educated at Academy of Public Administration and Governance.

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.

He served as member of the National Assembly of Vietnam and President of Vietnam (2011–2016).

His political affiliation is recorded as Communist Party of Vietnam.

What survives of a political career is usually not the speeches but the institutions left behind.

Recognition followed: 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.

Trương Tấn Sang's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
