Hanoi (VNA) - The Party Central Committee’s Politburo and Secretariat on July 17 considered and issued disciplinary measures against two incumbent and former officials for serious violations of the Party's regulations and the State's laws while performing their duties.
After considering proposals from the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, the Politburo held that Do Duc Duy, member of the Party Central Committee, member of the Government Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and Agriculture and Environment Minister, violated Party regulations and State laws in performing assigned duties during his tenure as Deputy Secretary of the Yen Bai provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Civil Affairs Board, and Chairman of the People's Committee of Yen Bai province. He breached the principle of democratic centralism, working regulations and the rules on the things that Party members are banned from doing, and on the responsibility for setting good examples. His actions led to serious consequences, triggered negative public opinion, and undermined the prestige of the local Party organisation and agency his had worked for, according to findings from the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission.
😼 Meanwhile, Nguyen Thi Kim Tien, during her tenure as a member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Party Civil Affairs Board, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Health, and Health Minister, showed degradation in political ideology, morality, and lifestyle. She committed violations in preventing and combating corruption, wastefulness and negativity; violated Party regulations and State laws in performing assigned duties, and broke the regulations on the things Party members are banned from doing as well as on Party members' responsibility for leading by example. Her actions triggered very serious consequences, sparked public concern, and severely undermined the Party organisation’s reputation and the agency she had worked for.

Party General Secretary To Lam has lauded Party committees and inspection commissions at all levels for their achievements in the Party inspection and supervision work since the beginning of the tenure and throughout 2024, saying that they have been contributing to fortifying the Party building and rectification, ensuring a strong and clean political system and bolstering the trust of officials, Party members and citizens in the Party.
Party General Secretary To Lam said since Vietnam and the RoK established their diplomatic ties in 1992 and upgraded their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2022, they have enjoyed expanded collaboration, delivering tangible benefits to their peoples and businesses.
The state visit to the RoK by Vietnamese Party General Secretary To Lam and his spouse was a great success, marking a significant milestone and opening a new chapter in the Vietnam–RoK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
In any circumstances, the Lao People’s Army will always stand shoulder to shoulder with its Vietnamese counterpart to safeguard both nations and nurture their great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation.
State President Luong Cuong sent a congratulatory message to President of the Republic of Ecuador Daniel Noboa on the occasion of the 216th National Day of the South American country (August 10).
Vietnam and the RoK should maintain regular exchanges at all levels, especially high level, across the Party, State, Government, National Assembly, and people-to-people channels; expand cooperation in diplomacy, national defence-security, economy, and sci-tech; and effectively realise existing cooperation mechanisms and agreements, said Party leader To Lam.
Party General Secretary Lam called on the RoK to help enhance the capacity of Vietnamese firms to integrate more deeply into the global supply chains of Korean companies, and to encourage Korean businesses to expand investment in Vietnam, particularly in infrastructure development, high-tech electronics manufacturing, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and smart cities.
Vietnamese brides in the Republic of Korea urged educational support, particularly access to Vietnamese language classes for their children, age-appropriate curricula, and resources for single mothers while meeting with Ngo Phuong Ly, spouse of Party General Secretary To Lam.
President of the Republic of Korea (RoK) Lee Jae Myung emphasised that the first visit to the RoK by General Secretary Lam in his capacity as the top leader of Vietnam holds special significance as it creates strong momentum for enhancing mutual understanding, strengthening political trust, and further promoting the RoK – Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the next phase.
The supervision team urged the Government to promptly issue a national human resources development strategy until 2030, with a vision to 2050, and ensure sufficient funding for strategy implementation.
Regarding the East Sea issue, Vietnam reaffirmed its consistent stance of solving all disputes through peaceful means, in accordance with international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The leaders noted that the two sides had agreed to turn scientific and technological cooperation into a pillar and a new highlight of bilateral relations.
This is a crucial session to consider and give opinions on a wide range of issues to be submitted to the NA's 10th sitting – the final of the current term, which will review the 2021–2026 tenure and prepare for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s first general election.
The signed documents include a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on scientific and technological cooperation, an MoU on copyright and related rights cooperation, and another on strengthening collaboration in renewable energy.
Vietnam’s participation in AMNEX 3 demonstrates its commitment as a member of the ASEAN Navy Chiefs’ Meeting (ANCM) and responds to the invitation of the Royal Malaysian Navy, showing support for multilateral international activities hosted by Malaysia.
Since the two countries established their diplomatic ties in 1992, the bilateral relationship has become a model of a very special, effective, and substantive partnership.
Addressing the meeting, Party General Secretary To Lam expressed his pleasure at meeting a large number of Vietnamese living and working in the RoK, acknowledging and appreciating their efforts in contributing to the growing Vietnam–RoK partnership.
He also welcomed the “Vietnam Private Sector Panorama” as a platform for dialogue, awareness-raising, and inspiring a wealth-creation movement, emphasising that it must deliver tangible results.
