The Prime Minister of Vietnam (Vietnamese: Thủ tướng Việt Nam) is the head of the executive branch of the Vietnamese government. The Prime Minister presides over the Vietnamese cabinet, and is responsible for appointing and supervising ministers. The Prime Minister is appointed by the President from among the members of the National Assembly.
From 4 July 1981 until 24 September 1992, the holder of this office was known as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Since that point, however, the title "Prime Minister" has been re-used.
The table below shows all Prime Ministers of Vietnam (including those who served before the current title was adopted) since the establishment of a unified government after the Vietnam War.

Prime Minister of Vanuatu
The prime minister of Vanuatu is the effective head of the government of Vanuatu.
In accordance with Article 41 of Vanuatu's constitution, the prime minister is appointed by Parliament from amongst its members. The election is conducted with a secret ballot. Article 43 of the constitution allows for a prime minister to be removed by a vote of no confidence, although the motion which starts this process must be signed by at least a sixth of Parliament and must be presented a week in advance of the vote. In a vote of no confidence, a prime minister can be deposed by an absolute majority of Parliament, although he or she will continue to carry out the functions of office until a successor is elected.
The prime minister is the head of Vanuatu's cabinet, and is responsible for appointing and dismissing ministers. All ministerial appointments are tied to the prime minister's tenure, meaning that if a prime minister dies or resigns, the entire cabinet is dismissed.
The position of prime minister was created when Vanuatu obtained its independence in 1980, with independence campaigner Walter Lini becoming the office-holder. The position is sometimes seen as a continuation of the older office of Chief Minister, which existed before Vanuatu obtained its independence. So far, seven people have served as prime minister of Vanuatu, sometimes on multiple occasions.
