Addressing the courtsector’s teleconference on January 14 to review the implementation of its tasksin 2018 and since the beginning of the 2016-2020 tenure, as well as put forwardmain missions for the coming time, Trong hailed the sector’s efforts to carryout the Party and State’s resolutions on judicial reform.
Courts at all levelshave actively participated in the fight against corruption, with many majorcases brought to light, said Trong, who is also head of the Central SteeringCommittee for Judicial Reform.
He requested that thesector focus resources on Party building and the building of a civilized andprogressive judicial system.
The cause of renewal,international integration, and sustainable national development is entering anew, but more complicated stage, posing a heavier task for Vietnamese courts.
