Paris (VNA) – Auditor General of the State Audit Office of Vietnam (SAV) Ngo Van Tuan met First President of the Cour des Comptes, the French Supreme Audit Institution Pierre Moscovici in Paris on September 12, discussing measures to strengthen their cooperation in the audit.

Earlier, on September 11, Tuan had a working session with Honorary President of the Cour des Comptes Gilles Pierre Levy, during which he highly valued its auditing expertise and role in leading Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI) to operate more effectively and stressed Vietnam hopes to strengthen cooperation both bilaterally and multilaterally, especially in areas where the French agency has strengths such as anti-corruption, money laundering, public policy assessment, and auditing international organisations.

He invited the Honorary President of the Cour des comptes Gilles Pierre Levy to visit to the SAV soon, and the latter suggested the two sides continue discussions to strengthen cooperation.

The two agreed to strengthen cooperation on auditing in all areas of mutual interest and organise cross-assessments between agencies within the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) framework.

The visit takes place as Vietnam and France are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of their strategic partnership./.

Kyril Whittaker, a UK-based Vietnam specialist, that Vietnam’s 40-year Renewal (Doi Moi) process has succeeded thanks to three closely intertwined factors - a scientific and practical approach to reform, the Communist Party of Vietnam’s leadership role, and the principle of placing the people at the heart of all policies.

14th National Party Congress: Vietnam’s strategic shift in new era

Vietnam now stands at the threshold of a new development era, driven by strong aspirations and substantial potential. The 14th Party Congress is, therefore, of decisive importance for the country’s future transformations, particularly amid an international environment marked by uncertainty and volatility. While this phase may be among the most complex of the renewal process, it also presents a critical opportunity for Vietnam to break through and evolve from an “Asian tiger” into a regional “dragon.”
