Lê Duẩn: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

Upon Ho’s death in 1969, He became a first secretary to the Vietnam Worker’s Party, assumed party leadership—a position that he retained after the party’s reorganization as the Vietnamese Communist Party in 1976. At that time, his official title became secretary-general. After the end of the [[Vietnam War]] in 1975, He led the party through a difficult period that witnessed the formal reunification of Vietnam, the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, and the country’s break with China and the expulsion of much of its ethnic Chinese community. Vietnam under Le Duan entered into a close alliance with the Soviet Union and became a member of Comecon (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance). Though adept at party organizing and at mobilizing human resources in pursuit of victory during the Vietnam War, He proved less pragmatic afterward as a maker of peacetime economic and foreign policy.
