The People’s Army Newspaper was honored with a consolation prize for its article titled “Corruption Prevention – Will, Methods and Effectiveness,” written by Pham Van Huan, Nguyen Van Minh, Nguyen Tan Tuan, and Nguyen Hong Hai.
Congratulating the winners, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked the Vietnam Fatherland Front to coordinate with press and media agencies to popularize the Party’s and State’s viewpoints and guidelines on corruption and wastefulness prevention to people. He urged central and local press and media agencies to promote the fight to push back signs of degradation in political ideology, morals and lifestyle, “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” among officials and Party members.

Also at the event, President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Tran Thanh Man launched the third national press awards on corruption and wastefulness prevention in the 2019-2020 period.
