According to the General Secretary, inspection today is not only a tool to detect violations, but also an institution to create transparency, promote innovation, protect stability and social trust. Good governance must have 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, putting people at the center of all activities, aiming to build an honest, effective, and people-serving administration.

Inspection is not only to handle violations but also to create development.

Suggesting some key orientations and tasks for the coming period, the General Secretary suggested that the Government Inspectorate Party Committee should focus on developing the project "Strengthening the Party's leadership in inspection work, meeting the requirements of preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity".

In particular, clarifying the mechanism, content and methods of Party leadership in the inspection field, ensuring the comprehensive leadership of the Party, while respecting the principles of independence, objectivity, publicity, transparency and compliance with the law.

The General Secretary noted the need to strongly innovate the thinking and methods of inspection. 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; at the same time 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.

Inspectors must be one step ahead, predict and warn of risks early, not allowing small violations to accumulate into major ones. All inspection activities must be objective, impartial, transparent, and adhere to the motto: "no forbidden zones, no exceptions, but also no extremes or formalities".

Inspectors must have the courage to defend what is right and fight against what is wrong.

According to the General Secretary, through the inspection results, it is necessary to step up the summarization of practices, detect problems, make recommendations to improve 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.

Many lessons from practice have proven that a correct, objective, and timely inspection conclusion can help save thousands of billions of VND, remove a series of institutional obstacles, contribute to improving the investment environment, and promote socio-economic development.

The General Secretary also emphasized the construction and operation of a national database on citizen reception, complaint and denunciation settlement; on controlling assets and income of people with positions and powers; and interconnecting with other national databases such as population, land, finance, banking, etc.

Inspectors must be people with "a bright mind, a strong intellect, good karma, 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.

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.
