Biography
Do Moui was born in Thanh Tri, Hanoi in February 2, 1917.
In what was called the Socialist Republic of Vietnam’s (SRV) biggest leadership shake-up in five years, Đỗ Mười was elected the Communist Party’s General Secretary replacing Nguyễn Văn Linh, 75, in 1991. The election on June 27, 1991, replaced seven of the 12 men in the ruling Politburo and a similar personnel housecleaning took place in the party Central Committee. Like Linh, Đỗ Mười advocated reforming the marketplace without fundamentally altering the political system (Đổi mới reforms). Party officials made clear that Linh was retiring because of poor health and was not being ousted.
Đỗ Mười was made prime minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in June 1988, capping a 35-year career in the state bureaucracy. As prime minister he became increasingly identified with the forces of conservatism at the highest level of leadership. In 1991, he became secretary general of the Vietnamese Communist Party.
Đỗ Mười retired from Communist party leadership in 1998.
