The President of Vietnam ( ) is the head of state of Vietnam, although the functions of the President are often ceremonial. The President is responsible for appointing the Prime Minister and the Cabinet from among the members of the National Assembly, basing his or her decision upon indications from the Assembly itself. Other offices the president holds include (nominal) Commander of the Vietnamese military, and Head of the Council on National Defense and Security. He is also always a high-ranking member of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party, as Vietnam is a single-party state.
