HANOI, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese Transport Minister Truong Quang Nghia has been appointed to the position of secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee, replacing an ousted leader of the central city, Vietnam News Agency reported.
The appointment was made under the decision of the Communist Party of the Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC)'s Political Bureau which was announced at a conference in Da Nang on Saturday.
The newly-appointed secretary said one of key tasks he wants to fulfill is successfully hosting the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Leaders' Week slated for Nov. 6-11, local online newspaper VnExpress reported on Saturday.
Nghia replaced Nguyen Xuan Anh who on Friday was dismissed from the positions of secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee, and member of the CPVCC.
The CPVCC agreed that as the leader of the Da Nang Party Committee, Anh bears the main responsibility for violations and mistakes of the municipal Party Committee's Standing Board, Vietnam News Agency reported.
Anh himself broke organizational and operation rules on the party, and violated the regulations on things party members are not allowed to do, and the rule on party members' responsibility in setting good example.
Anh's wrongdoings and mistakes are serious, putting negative impacts on the prestige of the party organization and himself, and causing discontent among party members and people, Vietnam News Agency quoted the CPVCC's conclusion as reporting.
