Nguyễn Minh Triết
Sixth President of Vietnam (2006-2011)
Nguyễn Minh Triết (Vietnamese: [ŋwiən˦ˀ˥ mïŋ˧˧ t͡ɕiət̚˧˦]; born 8 October 1942) is a Vietnamese politician who served as the seventh President of Vietnam from 2006 to 2011. He was elected by the National Assembly of Vietnam with 464 votes (94%) in June 2006.
Nguyễn Minh Triết was previously the secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City. The presidency of Vietnam is a ceremonial position and the Politburo decides government policy. Triết was the fourth-ranking member of the Politburo from 2006 to 2011. His term as president expired in July 2011. Senior Politburo member Trương Tấn Sang succeeded him.
At the 10th Party Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam in April 2006, he was nominated President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and confirmed on 27 June 2006 by the National Assembly. On that day, he succeeded Trần Đức Lương. He subsequently proposed Nguyễn Tấn Dũng as the new prime minister.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Nguyễn Minh Triết” is sixth President of Vietnam (2006-2011). The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Nguyễn, Minh and Triết, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “sixth President of Vietnam (2006-2011)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q57400. VIAF identifies the subject as 107942865. The Library of Congress control number is n2010015005. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1942, 2006 and 2011.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
