Vietnam shares experiences in corruption fight

A delegation of the Supreme People's Procuracy of Vietnam, led by Nguyen Huy Tien, Permanent Deputy Prosecutor General, attended the 15th International Meeting on Criminal Science and the 3rd conference on the rule of law, law and society, organised in Havana on March 15-17.

In his presentation, Tien emphasised that corruption is a negative social phenomenon that still exists in many countries around the world, adding that the scale of these types of crimes is expanding and their methods are becoming more sophisticated, causing damage to the State’s property.

The official affirmed that the Communist Party and the Government of Vietnam determine that the fight against corruption is an important, urgent and complicated task that plays a vital role in the construction and development of the country.

He suggested promoting institutional building, strengthening the power control mechanism and discipline, perfecting the legal system, especially overcoming loopholes and inadequacies in legal regulations, and ensuring they are compatible with the development of the market economy.

It is necessary to review and issue regulations on publicity and transparency of assets and income, and adopt solutions to limit the use of cash in economic and civil transactions, contributing to the handling of corruption and economic crimes, he went on.

The Vietnamese official pointed out that international solidarity and cooperation are an important foundation for mutual development and building a just and civilised world.

The International Meeting on Criminal Science is an annual activity hosted by Cuba. It has become a prestigious forum in Latin America to exchange experiences on anti-criminal policies, with the participation of a large number of prosecutors, lawyers, judges, forensic doctors, professors, and leading researchers.

During its stay in Cuba, the Vietnamese delegation held talks with the head of the Cuban Supreme People’s Procuracy Yamila Peña Ojeda and the Russian delegation on the sidelines of the event./.
