Vietnam, China strengthen audit cooperation
Vietnamese
State Auditor General Nguyen Huu Van made the request during an October
23 meeting with his counterpart Liu Jiayi on the sidelines of the 21st
Congress of the International Organisation of Supreme Audit
Institutions (INTOSAI) from October 22-25 in China’s capital city of
Beijing .
Auditor General Van said the cooperation
between the two auditing agencies in the form of regular exchanges of
high-ranking delegations and experiences have contributed to enhancing
each side’s capacity.
He said his agency needs the
assistance as it is playing an increasingly important role in Vietnam’s efforts to combat corruption and wastefulness.
Liu Jiaji, who is also INTOSAI 21’s Chairman, said the participation of
the Vietnamese delegation contributed to the congress’ success.
He affirmed that the auditing agencies of China and Vietnam
should well carry out their agreements, helping further the
comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two
countries.
The two auditor generals later signed a
Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation, in which the two sides will
exchange professional experience in the fields of public sector audit,
operational audit, environmental audit, and auditing technique, as well
as exchange auditors and high-ranking delegations.-VNA
