Vietnam's top leader To Lam expands power, new PM elected #news

HANOI, April 7 (Reuters) - Vietnam's lawmakers on Tuesday unanimously elected Communist Party Secretary General To Lam as the country's state president for the next five years, making him the most powerful Vietnamese leader in decades.
