Vietnam, China to continue facilitating inspection links

Deputy Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee’s Commission for Discipline Inspection Yang Xiaodu suggested facilitating high-level visits, personnel training and corruption combat during his talks with Government Inspector General Huynh Phong Tranh in Hanoi on July 13.

Yang said the increased collaboration would benefit both sides since they face similar matters of concern.

Tranh, for his part, said over the past time, the inspection and supervision have basically met the United Nations requirements on enforcing its Convention against Corruption, gaining the public trust and international acclaim.

The Government Inspectorate has launched regular and unscheduled inspections on sectors of public interest, including health care, education, labour-social affairs, natural resources and environment, land and credit, among others, he informed.

In the coming time, it will inspect the accountability and law-abiding practices by officials and cadres, he added.

During the talks, both sides also updated each other on the respective socio-economic developments as well as shared anti-corruption experiences.
