Seminar discusses combating local corruption
(VOV) - A seminar was held in the central city of Danang on October 29-30 to discuss the real situation and solutions to prevent and control corruption in localities.
Representatives from the Government Chief Inspectorate, the Central Steering Committee for Corruption Prevention and Control, and the Danang municipal People’s Council and Committee attended the event, along with inspectors from 19 central and central highland provinces, British ambassador to Vietnam Antony Stokes and local and foreign legal experts.
Participants presented 14 reports on hands-on experience and solutions for combating corruption in localities, while experts introduced good local governance practices for Vietnam.
The seminar also focused on analyzing data, learning lessons from experiences in dealing with corruption, and evaluating the real situation and results of measures to prevent and control corruption five years after the Anti-Corruption Law was implemented.
To date, Vietnam has successfully organized 10 anti-corruption dialogues with international donors, focusing on managing areas at high risk of corruption such as construction capital investment, health care, education, land management and mineral resources.
The seminar is part of anti-corruption dialogues aimed at encouraging greater participation from localities in this forum and to gain an overview of local corruption prevention and control measures.
The co-hosting agencies have agreed to hold three more seminars prior to dialogues in the northern, central and southern regions.
The results of these regional seminars will provide input for the 11th Anti-Corruption Dialogue scheduled to take place on November 22.
