Vietnam names PetroVietnam head Le Manh Hung acting trade minister amid leadership review and U.S. trade talks.
On December 22, 2025, Vietnam appointed Le Manh Hung, chairman of PetroVietnam, as acting Minister of Industry and Trade, succeeding Nguyen Hong Dien, who is moving to a new role as deputy secretary of the National Assembly Party Committee.
The change coincides with the Communist Party’s leadership review ahead of the January 2026 party congress.
Hung, a petrochemical expert, takes over during ongoing trade negotiations with the U.S., where Vietnam secured reduced tariffs.
