VOA慢速英語：阮富仲連任越共總書記

Vietnam's Communist Party re-elected Nguyen Phu Trong to a second five-year term as general-secretary Wednesday. The official Vietnam News Agency reported the move.

越南官方新聞機(jī)構(gòu)報道，越南共產(chǎn)黨星期三再次選舉阮富仲擔(dān)任越共總書記，任期五年。

Nguyen Phu Trong was re-elected general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

The 71-year-old Trong pushed back a challenge to a seat on the 19-member ruling politburo from Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung. Dung carried out a series of economic reforms during his years as prime minister. Those measures helped Vietnam increase foreign investment.

72歲的阮富仲擊敗總理阮晉勇的挑戰(zhàn)，進(jìn)入19名成員組成的政治局。阮晉勇在擔(dān)任總理的10年中實施了一系列的經(jīng)濟(jì)改革，幫助越南吸引了諸多新的外國投資。

Dung also strengthened ties with Vietnam's former enemy, the United States. This development led to Vietnam's signing of the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. Dung also spoke out against China's increasingly aggressive expansion in the South China Sea. Visit the website www.chinavoa.com to get more information!

阮晉勇還加強(qiáng)了同前意識形態(tài)和軍事上的敵人-美國之間的關(guān)系，越南簽署了美國主導(dǎo)的跨太平洋伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)議，并且公開強(qiáng)力反對中國在南中國海的擴(kuò)張。

Nguyen Phu Trong is considered a more conservative leader who supports closer ties with China. However, observers say he will likely to continue Dung's economic reform agenda and position on China's territorial claims.

阮富仲在黨內(nèi)更加保守，強(qiáng)烈親中，但是觀察人士認(rèn)為，他可能會繼續(xù)阮晉勇的經(jīng)濟(jì)改革議程，反對北京主權(quán)聲索的立場。

Dung will continue as prime minister until later this year. Observers expect his replacement will be Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

阮晉勇將繼續(xù)擔(dān)任越南總理，任期直至今年晚些時候。但觀察人士預(yù)計他的繼任者將是副總理阮軒福。
