Over the past five years, the two sides have actively and proactively worked together to give timely recommendations on and review the Party’s resolutions, directives, conclusions, and regulations as well as develop major projects related to internal affairs and anti-corruption.

They have also followed closely and precisely assessed situations on military-defense affairs, political security, social order and safety to advice the Party and State to devise policies and solutions in a timely manner, importantly contributing to developing the Party’s military-defense-related policies in the globalization, integration, and development process, so as to early defend the Fatherland from afar.

Apart from proposals for internal affairs implementation and corruption prevention and control, the two sides have given suggestions to the Politburo, and PCC’s Secretariat to handle serious and complicated military-defense-related cases and prepared reports on military-defense affairs to be presented at regular meetings of the higher levels.
