The Party chief emphasised that preventing and combating corruption, wastefulness and other negative phenomena remains a particularly important, regular and long-term task in the building and rectification of the Party and the political system; and resolutely and persistently fighting them is a consistent and unwavering policy of the Party and State.
He underscored the need to handle violations strictly, humanely and persuasively, with no off-limits zones or exceptions, while tightening control over key, sensitive and emerging areas prone to corruption, wastefulness and negative phenomena.
At the same time, anti-corruption efforts must go hand in hand with performing socio-economic development tasks, including maintaining double-digit economic growth in the years ahead, he stressed, calling for creating a transparent environment and a safe legal corridor so that citizens and businesses can confidently invest and operate, and encouraging officials and Party members to be proactive, creative and bold in acting for the common good.
The overarching goal, he said, is to harmonise the interests of the State, enterprises and the people, remove bottlenecks to unlock resources for development, and contribute to building a strong Party culture and advancing Vietnamese culture in the new era.
