Vietnam a one-party communist state has one of south-east Asia's fastest-growing economies and has set its sights on becoming a developed nation by 2020.

It became a unified country in 1976 after the armed forces of the communist north had seized the south of the country in the previous year.
This followed three decades of bitter independence wars which the communists fought first against the colonial power France then against US-backed South Vietnam. In its latter stages this conflict held the attention of the world.
The US had entered hostilities to stem the "domino effect" of successive nations falling to communism.
The jungle war produced heavy casualties on both sides atrocities against civilians and the indiscriminate destruction and contamination of much of the landscape.

Vietnam struggled to find its feet after unification and it tried at first to organise the agriculture-based economy along strict collectivist lines.
But elements of market forces and private enterprise were introduced from the late 1980s and a stock exchange opened in 2000.
Foreign investment has grown and the US is Vietnam's main trading partner. In the cities the consumer market is fuelled by the appetite of a young middle class for electronic and luxury goods. After 12 years of negotiations the country joined the World Trade Organization in January 2007.
But the disparity in wealth between urban and rural Vietnam is wide and some Communist Party leaders worry that too much economic liberalisation will weaken their power base and introduce "decadent" ideas into Vietnamese society.
Vietnam has been accused of suppressing political dissent and religious freedom. Rights groups have singled out Hanoi's treatment of ethnic minority hill tribe people collectively known as Montagnards.
President: Nguyen Minh Triet
Parliament confirmed Nguyen Minh Triet the head of the Communist Party in Ho Chi Minh City as president in June 2006. He has a reputation for fighting corruption and is seen as an economic reformer.
The former head of state Tran Duc Luong had submitted his resignation alongside the prime minister and the chairman of the National Assembly. The change of guard had been expected.
Secretary-general of the Communist Party: Nong Duc Manh
Nong Duc Manh aims to modernise Vietnam
|
The Communist Party holds the real power in Vietnam. It reappointed Nong Duc Manh as its secretary-general in April 2006.
Mr Manh who is seen as a moderniser urged Vietnam to speed up economic reforms and to tackle bureaucracy and deep-rooted corruption.
He says he wants to "lift people from poverty and hunger" and to turn Vietnam into a developed industrialised country.
Mr Manh began his first term in 2001 becoming the first secretary-general with no direct experience of the struggle for independence. He oversaw five years of strong economic growth.
The Communist Party leadership recommends candidates for the posts of president and prime minister.
The Communist Party has a strong grip on the media. The Ministry of Culture and Information controls the press and broadcasting.
