HÀ NỘI — President Trần Đại Quang urged the procuracy sector to focus on developing itself and creating a stronger Party organisation while attending the sector’s conference yesterday to launch plans for 2018. 

Quang asked the sector to carry out the resolution of the fourth Party Central Committee (12th tenure) on strengthening Party building and rectification and a Politburo directive on studying and following President Hồ Chí Minh’s ideology, morality and style. 

As new regulations on legislative reform will take effect in 2018, he asked the sector to study and recommend to the Party, Government and relevant authorities measures against violations, particularly economic crimes and corruption. 

The sector should work with relevant organisations to inspect, prosecute and try key corruption cases and reclaim stolen assets for the State, Quang said. 

The sector should also complete co-operation mechanisms with the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Public Security, Supreme People’s Court, the Ministry of Justice, the Government Inspectorate, branches and localities in the fight against crimes and the building of institutional mechanisms, he said.

The sector should pay heed to international co-operation in the prevention of crimes, he stressed. 

In 2017, the People’s Procuracy at all levels prosecuted 69,481 criminal cases. The sector strictly adjudicated serious economic violation and corruption cases. 

In addition, many solutions have been carried out to improve examinations into criminal cases. Enhancing inspection quality in other judicial activities and strengthening the Party organisation within the sector have been prioritised as well. — VNS
