Hanoi
TOP decision-makers in Vietnam's ruling Communist Party have agreed on one nomination for each of the country's four key leadership posts, a top official said on Sunday, a line-up that excludes the country's powerful prime minister.
The nominations still require endorsement at the party's ongoing five-yearly congress, but add weight to speculation of a political exit for Nguyen Tan Dung, the pro-business premier widely considered a moderniser and credited with a wave of recent moves to liberalise the fast-growing economy.
