Voor het eerst vertrouwensstemming in Vietnam

Vietnam’s prime minister today gets the chance to shore up backing from lawmakers in his first vote of confidence after stumbles that last year prompted him to make a public apology to the communist nation.

Premier Nguyen Tan Dung, the country’s president and 45 senior officials will come under fresh scrutiny as the 499-member National Assembly holds confidence votes for the first time, part of changes announced in November to bring greater accountability to government.
