Speaking at the ceremony to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam Inspectorate's traditional day on the morning of November 17, General Secretary To Lam stated that the ceremony is a special milestone, not only reviewing the glorious tradition of the Inspectorate, but also affirming the stature, position and mission of inspection work in the cause of building, developing and protecting the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland.
After 80 years of construction, development and growth, the Vietnamese Inspectorate has been part of the glorious historical journey of the country. During the resistance wars against France and the US, despite the harsh war conditions, inspection organizations still operated, contributing to maintaining discipline and order, ensuring that all resistance and national construction policies were implemented fairly and strictly. During the period of innovation and integration, inspection officers continued to be an important force in protecting the integrity of the state apparatus, preventing, detecting and handling violations, especially corruption, waste and negativity. "It can be said that wherever there is inspection work, discipline is established, trust is strengthened, and the law is respected. That is the pride of 80 years of history - 80 years of affirming the mettle, intelligence, loyalty and filial piety of the inspection staff towards the Party, the State and the People" - the General Secretary affirmed.
In recent times, the Inspection sector has been more proactive and determined, advising the Party and State on many mechanisms, policies and strategic solutions in the work of preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity; organizing many large-scale thematic inspections, focusing on areas prone to violations, making an important contribution to the work of Party building and rectification.
The work of receiving citizens, handling complaints and denunciations has been innovated in methods, improving the quality of coordination with ministries, branches and localities; many pending, complicated and prolonged cases have been resolved, contributing to social stability, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of the people, thereby contributing to stabilizing political security, social order and safety, and strengthening the people's trust in the Party, the State and the political system of our country.
Implementing Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017 of the 12th Party Central Committee and Conclusion No. 134-KL/TW dated March 28, 2025 of the Politburo and the Secretariat, the Inspection sector has proactively arranged and streamlined the apparatus, improved the effectiveness and efficiency of operations; perfected institutions, strengthened administrative discipline, contributing to the effective operation of two-level local governments, and better served the people.
The General Secretary also pointed out that our country is entering a new stage of development, with the aspiration to build a strong, prosperous and happy Vietnam, aiming to become a developed, high-income country by 2045. Rapid, strong development, deep integration, along with economic, social, technological and environmental challenges, pose higher and more comprehensive requirements for the inspection work - the agency that plays the role of ensuring integrity, efficiency and fairness in state management.
Today, inspection is not only a tool to detect violations, but also an institution that creates transparency, promotes innovation, and protects social stability and trust. Good governance requires a strong monitoring mechanism; and the Inspection sector is the pillar of this mechanism.
With that vision, the Inspection sector needs to continue to comprehensively innovate and strongly modernize, linking inspection work with development goals, placing people at the center of all activities, aiming to build an honest, effective, and people-serving administration.
The General Secretary suggested a number of key orientations and tasks for the Inspection sector in the coming period. In particular, it is necessary to thoroughly grasp the Party's guidelines and policies on building and rectifying the Party and the socialist rule-of-law State; effectively implement the Resolution of the 14th Party Congress, concretize the spirit of innovation, rapid and sustainable development. The Government Inspectorate Party Committee needs to focus on developing the Project "Strengthening the Party's leadership over inspection work, meeting the requirements of preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity" - in which the mechanism, content and methods of Party leadership in the inspection field are clarified, ensuring the Party's comprehensive leadership, while respecting the principles of independence, objectivity, publicity, transparency and compliance with the law.
It is necessary to consider inspection work, citizen reception, complaint and denunciation settlement, and anti-corruption, waste, and negativity prevention as key political tasks, closely linked with the work of Party building and rectification and building a socialist rule-of-law state that is honest, creative, and serves the people.
The General Secretary requested a strong innovation in the thinking and methods of inspection activities. It stated that inspection is not only to detect and handle violations, but also to prevent, create and promote development. Each inspection must aim at a dual goal: early detection of violations to protect public assets, while creating conditions to remove difficulties and obstacles for organizations, businesses and people.
Preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity is not only to handle violations, but also to clean up the investment environment, strengthen trust, promote economic development, and ensure healthy and transparent competition.
Inspection work needs to shift its focus from "handling violations" to "early and remote prevention", combining administrative inspection with thematic inspection, and field inspection with digital data analysis.
Through the inspection results, it is necessary to strengthen the summary of practices, detect problems, make recommendations for improving institutions, policies and laws, detect and overcome "gaps" and "loopholes" in state management and law enforcement, creating a favorable environment for innovation, creativity and development. This is the highest value of inspection activities in the socialist rule of law state.
The General Secretary also requested to promote modernization, technology application and digital transformation in the Inspection sector. Focus on building and operating a national database on citizen reception, handling complaints and denunciations; on controlling assets and income of people with positions and powers; connecting with other national databases such as population, land, finance, banking, etc. Towards carrying out inspection, handling complaints and denunciations, monitoring and handling entirely in the digital environment - transparent, fast, effective and economical.
The General Secretary requested that we take care of Party building work and build a team of inspectors who are truly honest, courageous, intelligent, and proficient. Inspectors must be people with “a bright heart, a strong mind, a good career, and correct actions”; have the courage to protect what is right, fight against what is wrong, and dare to take responsibility for the common good, just as Uncle Ho taught: “Inspectors are like mirrors for people to look at themselves in; a dirty mirror cannot be used to look at others.”
It is necessary to continue to improve the mechanism to encourage and protect cadres who dare to think, dare to do, and dare to take responsibility; promptly reward people of integrity and strictly discipline violators, to create a clean, democratic, and united working environment.
The General Secretary also noted that in the process of performing its tasks, the Inspectorate needs to closely coordinate with departments, ministries, branches, and localities, especially agencies in the internal affairs sector, to ensure synchronization, unity, and effectiveness. Party committees and authorities at all levels need to continue to pay attention to leading, directing, and creating favorable conditions for the Inspectorate to perform its functions and tasks well; so that inspection can truly become one of the key tools in building an honest, rule-of-law, and development-creating State.
In the coming time, the General Secretary believes that with the comprehensive leadership of the Party, the management of the State, the support of the entire political system and the people, and the spirit of solidarity, responsibility and dedication of all cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers, the Vietnam Inspectorate will continue to promote its glorious tradition, achieve many great achievements, and make worthy contributions to the cause of building and defending the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland./.
