In March 2013, Li was elected to be the Vice President. The post of vice-president had been held since 1998 by the top-ranked Secretary of the party's Secretariat; Li's selection as vice president broke this fifteen-year convention; this meant Li was also the first vice-president without a seat on the Politburo Standing Committee since 1998. [12] Since taking on the office, which is largely ceremonial in nature, Li played a major role in foreign affairs. He served as the deputy leader of the Foreign Affairs Leading Group, the main foreign affairs coordination body of the Communist Party, and the deputy leader of the Central Coordination Group for Hong Kong and Macau Affairs. Li was the most senior Chinese official to attend the state memorial of South African leader Nelson Mandela, the state funeral of Cuban leader Fidel Castro and the state funeral of Singapore's founding leader Lee Kuan Yew. Li left the Politburo after the 19th Party Congress in October 2017.[ citation needed ]

In 2018, Li retired from office and was succeeded by Vice President Wang Qishan.[ citation needed ]
