Concluding the meeting, Comrade Vo Thi Minh Sinh emphasized that the supervision, inspection and monitoring of the implementation of support policies for people facing difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic according to Resolution 42 of the Government is to ensure that the policies are implemented promptly and to the right subjects; protect the legitimate rights and interests of beneficiaries, and avoid taking advantage of and profiting from the policies.

Therefore, the monitoring process requires the Vietnam Fatherland Front and organizations at all levels to have a firm grasp of policies. At the same time, the monitoring process must be responsible, ensure objectivity, impartiality, comply with legal regulations and not affect the normal operations of the monitored agencies and units.
