Addressing the event, Lam underlined the Politburo’s trust in Tu, highlighting that the latter is a high-ranking official who has received systematic training, matured from the grassroots, acquired great expertise and a lot of working experience, and held many important leadership positions of the Party at the central and local levels.

Tu has shown strong performance as the Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, contributing to the building and rectification of the Party and political system as well as the prevention and control of corruption and other negative phenomena over the years, he noted.

The Party chief expressed his hope that Tu will promptly perform the new tasks, initially focusing on directing the Party Central Committee’s Office and relevant agencies in making preparations for the Party Congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress. Lam asked leaders of the Party Central Committee’s Office and relevant agencies to support and coordinate with Tu to complete his assigned tasks.

For his part, Tu pledged to show a high sense of responsibility and political mettle, inheriting and promoting the experience of his predecessors to meet the increasingly high demands of the Party and people.
