Answer
Certainly! Two leaders of Vietnam secured a third term before Nguyễn Phú Trọng: Ho Chi Minh and Trường Chinh. Ho Chi Minh, the founder and first president of Vietnam, served from 1945 until his passing in 1969. Trường Chinh, a prominent communist leader, held the position of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam from 1956 to 1986, with a brief interruption in the 1960s.
