The two entries of the VGP covered a series of news under the themes “Renovating viewpoints on private economic sector – High confidence in fair games” and “From Party’s requirements to the PM’s new models”.

Addressing the event, head of the CPV Central Committee’s Organization Commission Pham Minh Chinh, who is also head of the organizing board, said the works have provided a panorama on Party building in Viet Nam. 

Tran Quoc Vuong, head of the CPV Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, said that Party building and rectification is the task shared by all-level Party Committees and organizations, and the entire political system and people of all social strata.

“The press plays an important role in the work,” he stressed, asking all-level Party Committees, authorities and Fatherland Front, and organizations to create conditions for press agencies and journalists to popularize Party building and rectification./.
