Mr. Tran Cam Tu emphasized: In recent years, implementing the Resolution of the 12th Party Congress and the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee of the 11th and 12th terms on Party building and rectification, the Central Inspection Committee and Inspection Committees at all levels have made many innovations and made efforts to complete a large amount of work; the quality and effectiveness of inspection and supervision work have been gradually improved, including many difficult, complicated and serious cases that have been reviewed, violations clearly concluded and promptly handled, such as the cases at the Oil and Gas Group, the Chemical Group, BIDV Bank, Da Nang City, the General Department of Logistics and Technology (Ministry of Public Security), the Air Defense - Air Force Service, the Southwest Steering Committee, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the violations at the Formosa project, the AVG case, the Trinh Xuan Thanh case...

Through inspection, the Central Inspection Committee and Inspection Committees at all levels have resolutely handled and proposed the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat and Party committees at all levels to strictly handle many violating Party organizations and Party members, including comrades holding high positions in the Party and State, including retired officials and senior officers in the armed forces, with the spirit of strictness from top to bottom, no forbidden areas, no exceptions, firmly maintaining Party discipline.

“The above results have created an important mark in the 70-year journey of building and growing the Inspection Sector, contributing to effectively fighting and preventing degradation in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the sector. Through inspection and supervision work, Party committees and organizations at all levels have helped Party committees and organizations to more effectively lead and direct Party building work and carry out political tasks of localities and units, maintaining the principles of democratic centralism and internal solidarity"-Mr. Tran Cam Tu said.

Speaking at the ceremony, on behalf of the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, and Standing Secretary of the Secretariat Tran Quoc Vuong acknowledged, highly appreciated and warmly commended the achievements that the Party's Inspection sector has attained over the past 70 years.

Mr. Tran Quoc Vuong said: Inspection and supervision work must be conducted regularly, comprehensively, publicly, democratically, cautiously and strictly, in which prevention and construction are the main objectives. Through inspection and supervision, we can promptly remind, warn, correct and prevent violations of the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's laws and policies, and the lack of exemplary behavior of Party organizations and Party members; at the same time, we must resolutely handle organizations and individuals who deliberately violate.

“Party committees at all levels, especially the leaders, on the one hand, organize the implementation of inspection, supervision, and enforcement of Party discipline according to their functions and tasks; on the other hand, strengthen leadership, direction, and guidance of lower-level party committees and organizations in implementing inspection work; must immediately overcome the situation of “hot above, cold below” in inspection work. Pay attention to grasping the situation of activities of party organizations and party members, especially leaders, managers, and heads at all levels, sectors, localities, and units to promptly detect, prevent, and overcome shortcomings and defects, especially signs of violations when they are still in their infancy, so that violations do not become more serious.”- Mr. Tran Quoc Vuong emphasized.

Mr. Tran Quoc Vuong also suggested focusing on building a team of inspection officers to meet the requirements of the tasks in the new situation. Officers doing inspection work must always maintain their mettle, have the courage to fight, be upright, and must be impartial in fighting against violations and negativity in the Party; must grasp and correctly implement the principles, mechanisms, policies and regulations of the Party and the State, carry out their tasks with pure motives; maintain qualities, ethics, enthusiasm, determination and high responsibility in their profession; must truly be exemplary in daily life.

At the ceremony, on behalf of the Party and State leaders, Acting President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh awarded the First Class Labor Medal to the Central Inspection Commission for its outstanding achievements in contributing to building socialism and defending the Fatherland; the Central Inspection Commission awarded 20 Emulation Flags and Certificates of Merit to 29 collectives with outstanding achievements in the emulation movement to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Party Inspection Sector's tradition and 3 collectives with outstanding achievements in the management and protection of the Party Inspection Sector's Monument House./.
