Monday's changes come after a period of political turbulence during which two state presidents and a parliament speaker stepped down over accusations of "wrongdoing".
Vietnam currently has four deputy prime ministers working under Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. The number would be raised to five after Monday's vote.
