Manifestations of degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle, self-evolution, and self-transformation need to be prevented. Corruption and negative phenomena must be pushed back, with a focus on promoting thrift and fighting wastefulness. The encouragement and protection of bold officials who dare to think and act for common interests must be boosted.

Mr. Lê Thành Đô, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Điện Biên Province, speaks at the event.
