Mr. Trong on Tuesday led a meeting of the Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption where participants agreed that corruption prevention and control, including the settlement of cases under the Committee’s monitoring, have forged ahead despite the impact of COVID-19.

Since the beginning of the year, agencies prosecuted four cases involving 30 people. The Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission has also disciplined and actioned authorities to deal with one Politburo member, one former member of the Party Central Committee, and two former deputy ministers.

Party and State leader Trong said that despite COVID-19 and a heavy workload, including preparations for all-level Party congresses, the battle against corruption and crime has not ceased but, on the contrary, has forged ahead.
