Former President Tran Duc Luong passes away
(VOVWORLD) -Former Politburo member and former President of Vietnam Tran Duc Luong, born on May 5, 1937, passed away at 22:51 on Tuesday at his residence in Hanoi, aged 88, after a period of illness, according to the specialised council for protection of central-level officials' health.
Despite the dedicated treatment provided by the Party, the State, a team of professors and medical doctors, and the devoted care of his family, his advanced age and declining health ultimately led to his passing.
