Vietnam ruling party calls for reforms, fight against corruption
The Vietnamese ruling party has called for political reforms and increased efforts to fight corruption in the Southeast Asian country.
The Communist Party called for the reforms in a political report released on Tuesday through local and government media as well as its own website.
The report said that, over the past 30 years, the country has made important achievements in different fields, but still faces problems amid increasing public debt and low economic productivity.
It also urged competitiveness in the country, saying more needs to be done to change Vietnam into an industrial country by 2020.
‘Survival of regime under threat’
It said Vietnam’s “fight against corruption has not met its goals and expectations.”
“Corruption remains serious with increasingly sophisticated and complicated practices... causing public discontent, and poses a challenge to the leading role of the party and management efficiency of the state and threatens the survival of the regime,” it said.
The report was released ahead of a forthcoming congress meeting of the Communist Party slated for early next year. During the meeting, which is held every five years, the party members set goals for the next five years. They also select new leaders.
