The General Secretary said that the 11th Central Conference just ended on April 12. In it, the Central Executive Committee highly agreed on the contents related to the arrangement of the political system's apparatus and the arrangement of administrative units of the two-level local government organization.

Regarding preparations for the 14th National Party Congress, the General Secretary said that the draft contents of the basic documents have basically been completed. These documents will be sent to Party organizations for comments and then the opinions of the people will be widely sought.

"How can the Party's documents truly reach the people's hearts, represent the people's legitimate rights and interests, for the people's free, prosperous and happy life? Let the documents be the compass to bring the country to greater stability, development and improve the people's lives" - the General Secretary emphasized.

The trio needs to be eliminated.

General Secretary To Lam also said that after the passing of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, some people were worried that the work of preventing and combating corruption and negativity would slacken and be forgotten, but in reality, the work of preventing and combating corruption and negativity was still being implemented resolutely, synchronously, comprehensively, methodically, and in depth, with no forbidden areas or exceptions.

"The Politburo and the Secretariat are highly unanimous in the policy of continuing to promote the work of preventing and combating corruption and negativity and have decided to add the content of preventing and combating waste, creating a trio that needs to be eliminated: corruption, waste and negativity" - General Secretary To Lam emphasized.

The General Secretary said that this decision creates a great deterrent and warning. This work will continue to be carried out resolutely, persistently and continuously.

The Politburo also added functions and tasks of waste prevention and control to the Central and provincial Steering Committees, focusing on directing waste prevention and control in the management and use of public finance and public assets.

In the coming time, we also need to have a mass movement to practice thrift and fight waste in life, in each family, and in each person, because waste in society is still very large.

The General Secretary said that in the past time, the prosecution agencies nationwide have initiated and investigated more than 6,000 cases and over 13,000 defendants, prosecuted 5,040 cases and 13,519 defendants; tried 5,134 cases and 11,718 defendants for corruption and economic crimes. Of these, 1,197 new cases and 4,811 defendants were prosecuted for corruption.

Party committees and Inspection Committees at all levels have disciplined 107 party organizations and 3,209 party members; disciplined 70 officials under the Central Committee's management, including 28 Central Committee members and former Central Committee members, including 3 key leaders, 3 Deputy Prime Ministers, 6 Ministers, 10 Secretaries and former Secretaries of city and provincial Party Committees, 11 Deputy Ministers and former Deputy Ministers, 26 Chairmen and former Chairmen of the provincial level, and 4 Deputy Secretaries and former Standing Deputy Secretaries of the provincial level.

Reiterating the content about waste, the General Secretary emphasized: "Waste is also a very alarming problem. In some aspects, waste is more harmful than corruption and negativity."

Presenting figures and reports on wasteful projects, the General Secretary cited hundreds of valuable projects that are facing difficulties and are being left unfinished.

These projects not only cause damage and waste of money but also cause many other social damages that cannot be calculated in money.

The General Secretary affirmed that the Party will continue to carry out the fight against corruption, waste, and negativity with determination and resoluteness, with no forbidden areas or exceptions.

General Secretary To Lam also noted that in the process of organizing Party Congresses at all levels, restructuring the administrative system, arranging cadres, relocating agency headquarters, not organizing at the district level, and reorganizing at the commune level, the situation of "fishing in troubled waters" and "taking advantage of the situation" for corruption, waste, and negativity cannot be eliminated.

Therefore, the main responsibility of the political system, the Central and provincial Steering Committees for Anti-Corruption, Waste and Negativity is very great.
