He stated that the Party and State continuously strive to build a transparent and strong apparatus, while fighting against corruption and wastefulness, citing the Central Steering Committee for Corruption Prevention and Control’s regular meetings and the dispatch of inspection teams to localities as a demonstration of their policy.

The President underlined the role and efforts of Party committee and agency leaders and highlighted the need to increase precautionary measures, partly by strengthening inspection and supervision.

Concerning the 12 loss-making projects executed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, he reiterated the stance on thoroughly dealing with them and respecting the principle of self-control in businesses. He added that the State will not provide any additional capital for the projects.

Constituent Dang Thanh Binh from district 1 and Nguyen Thi My Hanh from district 4 urged for suspending the exportation of sand as sand export prices are lower than those at home, whilst expressing concern over the illegal exploitation of natural resources.

In agreement, the State leader said the government has asked for the suspension of all sand export and mining contracts in order to thoroughly check illegal projects.

He reaffirmed the Party and State policy of effective exploitation of natural resources made in tandem with environment protection.

The President also answered the constituents’ queries regarding child protection law, sidewalk management, pedestrian streets, traffic safety, medicine price control, and the import of old machinery.
