The four pillars (tứ trụ) is a Vietnamese informal term for the four most important bureaucrats in the Communist Party and government. In modern usage, the four pillars refer to the General Secretary of the Communist Party, President, Prime Minister and Chairman of the National Assembly.[1][2] Together, they are officially called the "Key Leaders of the Party and State" (Lãnh đạo chủ chốt của Đảng, Nhà nước) and can be considered as the de facto heads of state.[3] Similar to China, there does not exist an official order of precedence for political leaders and rather they are inferred in a de facto fashion. However, since the chairmanship of the Communist Party was abolished, the General Secretary has been the highest ranking official in Vietnam. This division of power is formed prevent dictatorial rule and preserve consensus-based leadership, which is officially called by the Vietnamese Communist Party as "democratic centralism".[4]

In the early 1990s, a "four pillar" system was accepted so that the top four political offices – Party General Secretary, State President, Prime Minister and National Assembly chairperson – were occupied by different people. The idea was to prevent dictatorial rule and preserve consensus-based leadership – what the Party calls "democratic centralism."
