HÀ NỘI — Up to 93 per cent of those surveyed expressed confidence in the Party’s leadership in the fight against corruption, according to a recent survey of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Publicity and Education.

The results were released at the Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption’s national conference reviewing corruption prevention and control works during 2013-2020.

The event was chaired by Party General Secretary and State President Nguyễn Phú Trọng, who is also head of the steering committee. Nearly 700 delegates, who are leaders of the Party, State, Government, National Assembly, ministries, sectors and localities, attended the in-person conference, while nearly 5,000 others joined the event via video conference.

Speaking at the event, Trọng said since the inception of the steering committee in 2013, the fight against corruption had seen progress, with a lot of important results, which was a great motivation to fulfil targets and make the country develop rapidly and sustainably.

Party-building and re-organisation work and stepping up corruption prevention and control had contributed to boosting socio-economic development, maintaining political stability and strengthening defence-security and external relations, he noted.

In the fight against corruption, it is essential to have high political determination, turn such determination into practical actions, and put the fight under the leadership and direct instruction of the Party, specifically the Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption, according to the Parader.

Fighting corruption means fighting an internal enemy, and is an important, continuous, difficult, urgent but long-term mission that needs the engagement of all ministries, sectors and localities at all levels. Trọng emphasised the need for a prevention and punishment mechanism.

Anti-corruption work should be conducted in line with thrift practice and Party-building, he said.

The top leader asked Party committees, Party organisations and Party members to consider anti-corruption work an extremely important mission in building the Party and political system.

He also highlighted the importance of educating thrift culture among officials, Party members and people, while intensifying inspections, as well as investigations, prosecution and judgement on corruption-related cases, and increasing the efficiency of withdrawing corruption assets.

Deputy Minister of Public Security Lê Quý Vượng said since 2013, investigation agencies started legal proceedings in 1,856 corruption cases involving 4,072 people.

In the past five years, more than 87,000 Party members received disciplinary measures, of whom more than 3,200 were involved in corruption. Four Politburo members and former Politburo members, 27 members and former members of the Party Central Committee, and more than 30 officers with the general ranking were disciplined. — VNS
