Party chief’s book on fight against corruption and negative phenomena released

A ceremony was held in Hanoi on February 2 to release the book entitled “Resolutely, persistently fighting corruption and negative phenomena to contribute to building more transparent and stronger Party and State” by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Nguyen Phu Trong.

The release of the book is part of activities to celebrate the 93rd founding anniversary of the CPV (February 3) and the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Central Steering Committee for Prevention and Control of Corruption and Negative Phenomena (February 1).

Jointly published by the CPV Central Committee’s Commission for Internal Affairs and the Su That (Truth) National Political Publishing House, the book presents directions of comrade Nguyen Phu Trong as the Party leader and head of the steering committee in a systematic manner, and demonstrates the Party’s consistent ideology on the prevention and control of corruption and negative phenomena, Party building and rectification, and the improvement of morality and lifestyle of officials and Party members.

With nearly 100 photos, the 600-page book comprises three parts presented in a modern press style.

The first part focuses on issues drawn from the fight against corruption and negative phenomena in Vietnam, featuring the Party chief’s article reviewing the combat since the establishment of the steering committee in 2013, along with his closing remarks made at national conferences on the fight in 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2022, and 36 meetings of the steering committee.

The second introduces 22 articles on Party building and rectification by the Party chief, including four reviewing the work since the first years of Doi Moi (Reform), and eight on the improvement of morality and lifestyle of officials and Party members, including some written in the 1970s.

The last is a collection of opinions and assessments of people from different walks of life, National Assembly deputies, and foreign politicians and scholars on Vietnam’s anti-corruption efforts under the Party leadership.

According to Vice Chairman of the CPV Central Committee’s Commission for Internal Affairs Nguyen Thai Hoc, the compilation team has focused on thoroughly collecting relevant documents and images from many sources and through many different periods.

Relevant agencies, especially the Office of the General Secretary, National Assembly’s library, Hanoi Party Committee’s Office, Vietnam News Agency, Communist Review, and Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities, have coordinated and provided a lot of valuable documents and images about activities of the steering committee in the last decade, and photos on activities of comrade Nguyen Phu Trong since he was a student; and articles by the General Secretary when he worked as an editor of the Communist Review half a century ago, Hoc said.

These are very valuable and meaningful materials for the compilation of the book, he stressed.

Addressing the event, Politburo member and Permanent member of the CPV Central Committee's Secretariat Vo Van Thuong emphasised that fighting against corruption and negative phenomena is an important task of the Party and State.

Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, its Political Bureau and Secretariat, and the steering committee, the work has made great strides, achieving many important results, contributing to the Party building, maintaining political stability, and promoting national socio-economic development, he stated.

Thuong praised the commission for chairing and coordinating with the publishing house, the Party Central Committee’s Comission for Information and Education, and the Central Theoretical Council in compiling the book, which has both theoretical and practical values. 

He asked relevant agencies and press agencies to focus on introducing the contents of the book to officials, Party members, civil servants and people from all walks of life, thus helping readers better understand the guidelines and determination of the Party and the State in the fight against corruption and negative phenomena.
