Politburo member Binh clearly stated that the Party and State are currently accelerating the fight against corruption, the handling of key cases, Party building and rectification, and the improvement of the political system, with many big policies related to officials, Party cadres, and social security.

In addition, the internal political security situation has seen a lot of complicated proceedings in recent times, heavily affecting the Party’s leadership, State management, and the people’s trust, he added.

Given that fact, the deputy PM asked that the People’s Public Security forces as a whole, and the internal political security forces in particular, strengthen measures to protect the Party and internal affairs, to better serve the implementation of the Resolutions of the fourth and sixth plenums of the 12th Party Central Committee and the preparation for the 13th National Party Congress.
