Tran Dai Quang, Vietnam's president, died Friday from a "highly virulent virus." He was 61.
Former health minister Nguyen Quoc Trieu, who now oversees health care for high-ranking officials, said Quang had been ill for months.
“He began showing symptoms of illness in June last year and has been treated in Japan six times since,” Trieu told Reuters. “He suffered from a kind of highly virulent virus, for which there has not been any efficient treatment.”
Quang, the former minister of public security, was appointed president in April 2016.
