First book on Vietnamese Party chief published overseas

A book on General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Nguyen Phu Trong, has been launched recently in the Republic of Korea, becoming the first dedicated to the Vietnamese leader published outside Vietnam.

The book “Vietnamese General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong” closely follows the significant stages of the Party chief's career, providing detailed information about his youth and university years.

It also includes many articles the Party General Secretary wrote while working as a reporter for the Communist Review, the official publication of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Impressed by the Vietnamese leader’s exceptional skills in writing commentaries and essays, the author delved deeper into his life, starting from his school days.

In 2022, as the two countries celebrated the 30th founding anniversary of diplomatic relations, Cho made multiple trips to Vietnam, and began writing the book intensively for a year and a half.

The author noted that, since its release nearly a month ago, approximately 6,000 copies have been sold. Plans are in place to translate the book into Vietnamese to make it accessible to local people./.
