On October 14, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and National Assembly deputies in Hanoi met with voters in Dong Da, Ba Dinh, and Hai Ba Trung districts before the 6th session of the 15th National Assembly.

At the meeting, voters recalled the very important event when US President Joe Biden made his first official visit to Vietnam at the invitation of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong .

As a result, the two countries Vietnam and the United States have upgraded their relationship to the level of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with the goal of "peace - prosperity and sustainable development". From there, voters expressed their hope that the Vietnam - US relationship will increasingly develop for the benefit of the people, for peace, prosperity and sustainable development.

Voter Nguyen Thi Minh Ha (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) highly appreciated and trusted the fight against corruption in recent times.

According to Ms. Ha, the anti-corruption campaign conducted by the Party and led by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is still taking place resolutely and effectively.

At the same time, it demonstrates the great determination of the entire Party, army and people to clean up the apparatus and further strengthen people's trust.

The handling of officials who violate the law has made many great strides, comprehensively, without forbidden areas or exceptions, thereby creating a new breakthrough in the work of preventing corruption and handling officials who violate the law.

She hopes that the Party and State will continue to be resolute and persistent in the fight against corruption and negativity. She considers this task to be especially important and must be carried out regularly and without stopping.

"The people push the boat, the people also capsize the boat"

Speaking here, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong stated that the meeting with voters before the 6th session of the 15th National Assembly aimed to report on the expected program and listen to voters' opinions.

He said the opinions expressed by voters here were brief but profound, and very general.

The General Secretary spent most of his nearly 40-minute conversation with voters emphasizing the roles and functions of entities in the political system according to the principle of "Party leadership, State management, People mastery".

The Party leader noted that entities in the political system need to properly perform their functions and tasks according to regulations, avoiding the situation of "crabs relying on their claws, fish relying on their fins", "everyone thinks their power is great"...

In particular, when meeting with voters, National Assembly deputies must absolutely “avoid formalities, sitting there pretending to listen attentively but not actually listening”. “The people push the boat, the people also capsize the boat”, the General Secretary emphasized.

"It is not acceptable to rely on yourself as a high-ranking official to come down and bully the people. But if the people say they are the masters and say I don't listen, it is also not acceptable. Therefore, there must be laws, and the State must have discipline, under the leadership of the Party," the General Secretary added.

He said that voters and people have an important role in monitoring and inspection activities, this is fundamental and all are regulated by law. People's opinions are important because people are the ones who directly benefit and understand everything.

Identifying himself as "a voter from the suburbs of Hanoi" (born in Dong Anh district), General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is proud because "every day he sees the capital changing and developing".

He also once again affirmed that never before has our country's position, reputation and prestige been as it is today.
