Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on March 7 emphasized the importance of preventing and fighting corruption, and urged relevant authorities to work out effective anti-corruption measures for the future.
He said at a national meeting reviewing the five-year implementation of Resolution No. 3 of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) (the 10th tenure) on enhancing the leadership of the Party in anti-corruption and the Anti-Corruption Law.
The Prime Minister urged participants of the meeting to continue reviewing and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the implementation of the Resolution and Law related to anti-corruption over the past five years.
The meeting was informed that Party members and people highly valued and agreed with the Resolution and its measures to prevent and fight corruption. Adopting and implementing the Resolution and the Law relating to anti-corruption had strengthened the people’s confidence in the Party and State and had been highly appreciated by other countries.
The meeting also heard that studying and implementing the Resolution in some localities were yet to achieve positive results. Some local steering committees for anti-corruption were not paying enough attention to their tasks. The numbers of cases brought to light did not reflect the real scale of the problem, and it usually took a longer time to deal with these cases compared to other crimes.-
