Vietnam began its two-day state funeral for Communist Party chief Nguyen Phu Trong, whose death last Friday signaled a new era in the nation’s political power structure. The ceremonies, which are drawing global dignitaries including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Hanoi, began early Thursday morning with hundreds of Vietnamese lining up at a funeral hall to pay respects to Trong. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Entertainment events, from concerts to movies, have been canceled for two days as Vietnamese expressed sorrow in online posts for the 80-year-old leader who died before completing a rare third term as general secretary of the party.
