Speaking at the dialogue, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc affirmed the Vietnamese State, Party and Government have been steadfast in their determination to prevent corruption and have recently issued a number of laws aimed at reducing corruption.
The Deputy PM said although Vietnam has made progress in the anti-corruption work, more needs to be done, he asked local and international delegates to analyze the causes and put forth more initiatives to help Vietnam learn lessons on asset recovery from other nations.
Along with fine-tuning institutions, Vietnam will make spare no effort to gain better achievements in implementing the UN Convention against Corruption, he added.
The UK Ambassador to Vietnam Giles Lever in turn said he felt very happy to witness achievements in Vietnam’s anti-corruption work in recent times. He noted businesses are both the victims of corruption and important partner in anti-corruption activities.
He urged Vietnam citizens to get involved in international and local cooperation, noting that the recent survey by Transparency International- a global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption - showed just 34% of those questioned believe the government’s anti-corruption efforts have been ineffective.
