Speaking at the conference, Mr. Tran Cong Phan, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Supreme People's Procuracy of Vietnam affirmed that corruption is a serious issue that undermines democracy and rule of law of each country. Like other parts of the world, South East Asian countries in general and Vietnam in particular are striving to implement effective countermeasures and fight against corruption.
