HANOI — Vietnam's legislature on Thursday approved the resignation of President Vo Van Thuong, state media reported, the latest top official to step down amid an intensified anti-graft crackdown by the ruling Communist Party.Thuong, 53, became the second president to resign in just over a year in Vietnam, where leadership changes have recently been all linked to the wide-ranging "blazing furnace" anti-bribery campaign.
Thursday's vote by the rubber-stamp National Assembly is largely a procedural step, after the party's central committee on Wednesday accepted Thuong's resignation, removing him from the Politburo, its top decision-making body, and his position of head of the National Defense and Security Council.
