He noted that the Government Inspectorate of Viet Nam (GIV) and the Russian directorate have had effective cooperation and exchanges in recent times.
The Deputy PM appreciated the areas of cooperation and the contents of the memorandum of understanding exchanged between the two agencies, under which the two sides will step up high-level delegation exchanges and cooperate in training and capacity building for officials to enhance anti-corruption efforts and promote a clean, responsible government.
He noted that the Vietnamese Government and the Central Steering Committee for Prevention and Control of Corruption, Wastefulness and Negative Phenomena highly value and fully support this cooperation. He also expressed his hope that both sides will further expand collaboration in other potential areas.
Binh stressed that the Party, State and people of Viet Nam always appreciate the substantial and effective support provided by the former Soviet Union and the Russian Federation during the past resistance wars and the ongoing national construction. The relationship between the two nations has continued to deepen, particularly in political ties marked by strong mutual trust, reinforced through frequent delegation exchanges and bilateral engagement at all levels.
For his part, Mironov congratulated Viet Nam on the 80th anniversary of National Day and on the impressive achievements the country has made in recent years. He emphasised that the bilateral friendship has stood the test of time, with both sides consistently supporting each other. Cooperation between Viet Nam and Russia, he added, has been further strengthened through political dialogue at the highest level. He affirmed that the Vietnamese Government is a key partner and a close friend of Russia.
He also briefed the Deputy PM on the delegation’s activities in Viet Nam and on preparations for the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the GIV and the Presidential Civil Service, Personnel and Anti-Corruption Directorate. He extended an invitation to the Permanent Deputy PM and the Inspector General of Viet Nam to visit Russia soon.
