Vietnam's police chief, Tran Dai Quang, has been sworn in as the communist country's president. Mr Quang, 59, has been head of the ministry of public security, which has been the focus of Western criticism of the nation's human rights record.
Quang's approval was however a mere formality, since he was the only candidate put
forward by the Communist Party's five-yearly congress in January. He was elected as President after he secured 91.5% of the valid votes i.e. 452 out of the total 494 members of the unicameral house, voted in favour of Quang.
