Deputy Prime Minister and Vice Chairman of the Central Steering Board for Anti-Corruption, Truong Vinh Trong, received Indonesian Anti-Corruption Committee Chairman Antasari Azhar in Hanoi on July 22.
Mr Azhar, who came to study Vietnam’s experience in the fight against corruption, praised the country’s dynamic economic growth, especially the surge in foreign direct investment which he attributed to the progress made in its anti-corruption work.
Indonesia was looking for further cooperation and further exchange of experience in the anti-corruption fight, he said.
Mr Trong pledged to share relevant experience with Indonesia, emphasising that discovering corruption and holding open and transparent trials is the best way to prevent future cases. If not, the public will lose their confidence, which is harmful to national development and global economic integration.
The same day, at a reception for the Indonesian anti-corruption chiefInspector General Tran Van Truyen said the Vietnamese Government regards anti-corruption as a key to the successful management of the country. Vietnam has been speeding up administrative reform and targeting State agencies’ operations toward transparency and openness.
He said the country has promulgated the Anti-Corruption Law and a number of relevant legal documents, and “the country has also been preparing to issue an anti-corruption strategy for 2020 and compiling a project to monitor incomes of public employees and Government officials as well as a project to improve anti-corruption performance.”
