| Overview of the 4th Central Conference, 13th term. |
The work of preventing and combating corruption must be closely linked and synchronized with the work of preventing and combating negativity, especially the work of combating degradation in political ideology, morality and lifestyle. This was emphasized by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in his closing speech at the 4th Central Conference.
Consecutively from the 11th National Party Congress to now, in 3 terms, at the 4th Conference, the Party Central Committee has chosen the content of Party building and rectification to discuss and decide on strategic directions for the entire term. That created a deep impression in the Party and in the People about "Central Resolution 4".

According to Mr. Mai Truc - former Deputy Head of the Central Inspection Committee, this is a clear demonstration of the Party's determination to prevent and repel corruption, negativity, and signs of ideological degradation. These results have left important lessons for the Party's inspection and supervision work in the coming time. In particular, Party committees and organizations at all levels, especially the heads of Party committees, must really pay attention to leading, directing, and organizing the implementation of inspection and supervision work proactively, regularly and continuously to continuously improve the Party's leadership capacity and fighting strength.
“The synchronization between inspection and supervision must be carried out according to the motto that supervision must be expanded, inspection must have key points, in which supervision must be emphasized to remind, warn, and proactively prevent. The strict disciplinary action must be carried out in the spirit of humanity to cure diseases and save people. Violations by party members, especially violations related to corruption, must be detected first from within the party organization to prevent them from the beginning when they first appear, avoiding small violations from becoming major violations, and less serious violations from becoming serious violations,” Mr. Mai Truc emphasized.
To completely eliminate and repel signs of degradation, prevent corruption and negativity, the Politburo recently issued Regulation No. 32 "on functions, tasks, powers, working regime, and working relationships of the Central Steering Committee on preventing and combating corruption and negativity", replacing Regulation No. 211, 2019, once again strongly affirming the Party's determination in preventing and combating corruption; preventing and combating negativity, focusing on degradation in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle among cadres, party members, civil servants, and public employees, first of all, leaders and managers at all levels.

“Negativity and degradation occur at many levels, in many sectors, and in all areas of social life. We see that the Central Committee's assessment is to resolutely fight against signs of degradation in political ideology, morality, lifestyle, and signs of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party. Because this is the root, this is the seed of negativity and it is related to the survival of the Party and our regime,” said Mr. Nguyen Duc Ha, former Head of the Party Base Department, Central Organization Committee.
With the new contents and requirements approved at the 4th Central Conference of the 13th tenure, it will certainly continue to create strong impressions in the leadership and direction of the content of Party building and rectification and the political system, creating an important premise for our Party to continue to better carry out the work of Party building and rectification, consolidating the trust of Party members and people./.
