The meeting was chaired by Bui Thi Minh Hoai, Politburo Member, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee, Head of the Hanoi National Assembly Delegation, and Head of the Steering Committee.

Overview of the meeting. 

Attending the meeting were Deputy Heads and committee members, including Nguyen Van Phong, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee; Hoang Trong Quyet, Head of the City Party Committee's Inspection Commission; Do Anh Tuan, Head of the Hanoi Party Committee's Internal Affairs Commission and Standing Deputy Head of the Steering Committee; and Lieutenant General Nguyen Thanh Tung, Director of Hanoi Police.

In the first six months of 2025, the Steering Committee fully implemented its duties based on defined functions and plans. The committee provided leadership and directed the execution of several significant tasks related to anti-corruption, waste prevention, and combating negative practices, delivering clear and measurable results.

Notably, the committee ensured strict implementation of Party policies, State laws, and directives based on conclusions issued by the General Secretary and Head of the Central Steering Committee during Central-level sessions. 

The Hanoi committee issued and proposed the issuance of 19 official documents to carry out these tasks. It also advised on the review of Program No. 10-CTr/TU dated March 17, 2021, on "Improving the effectiveness of anti-corruption, thrift practice, and waste prevention for the 2021–2025 period," and planned the ten-year review of Directive No. 50-CT/TW dated December 7, 2015, from the Politburo on "Strengthening the Party's leadership in detecting and handling corruption cases."

To reinforce supervision and inspections, the Steering Committee issued and implemented Plan No. 89-KH/BCĐ dated May 22, 2025. This plan outlined inspections of seven Party organizations on their leadership in implementing the City Party Standing Committee's Plans No. 151 and 152.

Under the direction of the City Party Standing Committee, the Steering Committee ordered stricter management and discipline enforcement, emphasizing transparency and accountability in investigating and penalizing Party organizations and members who violated rules. In the first half of the year, Party committees inspected 296 Party organizations and 284 members and supervised 162 Party organizations and 148 members.

Inspection commissions at all levels investigated 15 Party organizations and 53 members based on signs of violations. Among them, 12 organizations and 42 members were confirmed to have committed violations.

The Standing Committee of the City Party disciplined one Party member through expulsion. The Hanoi Party's Inspection Commission sanctioned two Party organizations and 11 members, and suspended two individuals involved in ongoing cases. Subordinate Party committees issued disciplinary actions against one organization and 214 individual members.

In line with the directives from the Secretary of the Party Committee and Head of the Steering Committee, judicial bodies were instructed to resolve obstacles and accelerate the handling of ongoing corruption and misconduct cases. This included those flagged by the Central Steering Committee's inspection and working teams.

Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Bui Thi Minh Hoai. 

Since December 15, 2024, the Steering Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee has monitored and directed 24 criminal cases and matters. In the first half of 2025, 19 of these cases were concluded. One case has been assigned to judicial agencies for direct oversight, while one new case was added to the list. Currently, the committee is tracking five unresolved cases.

In addition, the Steering Committee advised on the review and resolution of public projects facing delays, long-standing backlogs, low efficiency, or legal complications—particularly those that could lead to waste or losses. The committee also reviewed the management and usage of public buildings, land, and assets amid ongoing efforts to streamline administrative units and state agencies.

The committee instructed the city to increase public awareness and education about anti-corruption, thrift, and transparency efforts. It called for the enhanced role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the press, and the people in promoting accountability and oversight.

Bui Thi Minh Hoai, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee and Head of the Steering Committee, outlined several priorities. She emphasized the need to follow the Central Steering Committee's direction and to implement the committee's 2025 work plan with urgency and discipline. She urged closer coordination among Party organizations, local governments, and state agencies to foster stronger change in combating corruption, waste, and misconduct citywide.

She instructed that the city must fully integrate anti-corruption and transparency efforts into local governance, particularly as Hanoi prepares for the 18th City Party Congress and the Party Congresses at all levels. She stressed the importance of building a local government system that is honest, close to the people, and effective in both structure and service delivery.

She specifically called for increased inspections and audits to control power and prevent corruption and misconduct at the commune level. She warned against behaviors such as bureaucracy, harassment, delays, and lack of responsibility in public service delivery. She urged a firm stance against complacency and passing responsibility between departments.

The Steering Committee was also directed to identify and include inefficient or stagnant projects in its oversight. It must investigate how public buildings and assets are managed and reused after organizational restructuring. It must ensure that leftover office space and suspended projects are handled correctly to avoid losses and mismanagement.

Hoai emphasized the need to prioritize investigations and the resolution of serious and complex cases that have drawn public concern. This includes cases tied to personnel appointments ahead of Party congresses, and those flagged by inspection missions from the Central Steering Committee.

She stated that five ongoing cases currently under the committee's watch must be resolved without delay. She also directed that additional wasteful and controversial matters should be added to the list of cases under the committee's supervision.

Finally, she reiterated that agencies must intensify public outreach and education efforts on anti-corruption, linked with improving the oversight roles of the People's Council, the Vietnam Fatherland Front at all levels, the press, and the public. These measures aim to create a transparent and accountable system that effectively prevents corruption, waste, and unethical practices.
