Luong Cuong, a member of the Politburo – the highest decision-making body in the country and permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat, handed over the Politburo’s appointment decision to Ngoc on Monday morning.

Ngoc, also a PCC member, will succeed Le Minh Hung, who was added to the Politburo and assigned to head the PCC’s Organization Commission last month.

Ngoc, 60, was elected to the PCC for the first time in January 2021. He was deputy director of the Hanoi Police Department before being promoted to be deputy head of the General Department of Police under the Ministry of Public Security in November 2016 and later head of the Investigation Police Department for Corruption, Smuggling and Economic Crimes (C03).

In August 2019, he became Deputy Minister of Public Security and has led investigations into high-profile corruption cases since.

The PCC Office now has four deputy heads, who are Lam Thi Phuong Thanh, Dang Khanh Toan, Bui Van Thach, and Le Khanh Toan.

The office is the main advisory and assisting body for the PCC, Politburo, and Secretariat, besides managing financial issues and assets of central Party agencies.

The same day, Senior Lieutenant General Trinh Van Quyet, member of the PCC and Central Military Commission and deputy head of the General Department of Politics under the Vietnam People’s Army, was appointed to lead the general department.

Quyet will succeed Luong Cuong, who was tasked to hold the position of permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat last month.

Quyet, 58, was voted to be a PCC member for the first time in January 2021 and became deputy head of the General Department of Politics three months later.

Like Ngoc, Quyet was promoted to the rank of Senior Lieutenant General in 2023.
