Member of the Politburo, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council Nguyen Xuan Thang affirmed that the book has special significance and importance in both theory and practice, demonstrating consistent, steadfast thinking; is a creative development, contributing to perfecting the Party's theoretical thinking on the work of preventing and combating corruption and negativity.

The General Secretary's instructions presented in the book are drawn from rich and vivid practical experiences, demonstrating the close, decisive, comprehensive and convincing direction of the Party leader.

According to the Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, all the theoretical and practical values ​​that the book brings are sharp "weapons" that contribute to protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against the false arguments of hostile and reactionary forces about the Party and State's work of preventing and fighting corruption.

The book is considered a "handbook" for the fight against corruption and negativity in our country, a bedside document for cadres and party members in "self-reflection and self-correction".

The Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics hopes that the book's content will soon be included in the political theory curriculum and requires all staff and lecturers of the Academy to fully understand the book's content and implement it in each lesson plan, lecture and research program.

The presentations at the seminar affirmed that the book by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a document of profound value in both theory and practice, a "handbook" for the work of fighting corruption and negativity.

Based on summarizing rich practices and drawing out theoretical issues on the fight against corruption and negativity in Vietnam, the work affirmed that the fight against corruption and negativity is "a necessary, inevitable task, an irreversible trend"; The goal "is to purify the Party and the State apparatus, to develop the country"...

The work has clearly pointed out the direction and tasks in the coming time, in which special attention is paid to the work of building and perfecting institutions in all fields, gradually perfecting strict prevention mechanisms to ensure that corruption and negativity are "impossible", "not daring", "not wanting", "not needing"...

At the same time, it is necessary to clearly point out the prevention and fight against negativity, focusing on preventing and fighting against the degradation of political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle among cadres, party members, civil servants, and public employees, that is, to eradicate corruption. Each cadre and party member must practice revolutionary ethics, fight against individualism, and regularly practice self-criticism and criticism "like washing your face every day". Cadres and party members must always be pioneers and exemplary in all tasks, "party members go first, the country follows".

In order for the fight against corruption and negativity to be most effective, the work of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasizes that first of all, it is necessary to maintain the Party's leadership role. To have the capacity and conditions to lead the revolution correctly and effectively, the Party must constantly innovate, self-rectify, improve its leadership capacity and strength in all aspects, and consider Party building as the key task, the vital task of the entire revolutionary cause.

On the other hand, we must strengthen the connection between the Party and the people, considering this the law of existence, development and operation of the Party, the decisive factor in creating the Party's strength. The people believe in the Party, support the Party, and follow the Party in making revolution. The Party does its utmost to serve the people, promoting the role and never-ending creativity of the people.
