Comrade Nguyen Xuan Phuc is a key leader of the Party and State, born into a family with a rich revolutionary tradition; received basic training, matured from the grassroots and was trusted by the Party Central Committee and the Politburo to hold many important leadership positions of the Party and State. As Prime Minister for the 2016-2021 term, he made many efforts in leading, directing and operating the work of preventing and fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, achieving important results.
However, he bears the political responsibility of a leader when many officials, including two Deputy Prime Ministers and three Ministers, committed violations and shortcomings, causing very serious consequences; two Deputy Prime Ministers have asked to resign from their positions, two Ministers and many officials have been criminally prosecuted. Fully aware of his responsibility to the Party and the people, he has submitted a request to resign from his assigned positions, quit his job and retire.
