At the meeting, the party chief asked the other leaders to keep a close watch on the country’s situation to ensure smooth movements of multisided operations embracing socio-economics, security, national defense, foreign relations, Party’s building, and social welfare. 

Notably, the president emphasized the continuity of fights against corruption, noting that top bodies need to keep surveillance on anti-corruption without any indifference. 

President Nguyen Phu Trong was absent from work and state activities after a working trip to the southern province of Kien Giang on April 13-14.
