Fake milk and medicine are very complicated, Prime Minister requests immediate handling

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has just signed Official Dispatch No. 72 requesting ministries, branches and localities to continue to step up the fight to prevent and repel smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods and infringement of intellectual property rights.

According to this dispatch, in recent times, ministries, branches, localities, and functional forces have made great efforts in the fight against smuggling, trade fraud, and counterfeit goods, detecting and handling many cases and violators in the production and trade of fake milk, medicine, and food...

However, the situation remains very complicated. The Prime Minister requested the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its member organizations to continue to closely coordinate with ministries, branches and authorities at all levels in mobilizing businesses and people to participate in this struggle.

The Secretaries of Provincial and Municipal Party Committees directly under the Central Government are responsible for continuing to lead and direct Party committees at all levels and the entire political system in the locality to participate in the fight against smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods.

In particular, the head of the Government requested strict handling of officials, civil servants, and officers who show signs of moral degradation, corruption, negativity, protection, and abetting of law violators.
