Senior CPC official vows to stem corruption

Wang Qishan, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), vowed on Tuesday to tighten up internal management of the ruling party and stop the spread of corruption.

Wang, chief of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, made the remarks as he met with a delegation from the Danish Parliamentary Ombudsman led by Jorgen Steen Sorensen.

"Our goal is clear," he said, adding that "we are disciplining the ruling party itself, tightening up its internal management, and boosting the drive for good governance to resolutely contain corruption."

Wang said the people have entrusted the CPC with the status of ruling party and the anti-corruption drive is linked to the fate of the party, the state and the nation.

During the meeting with the delegation, he also said the talks between President Xi Jinping and Queen Margrethe II in Beijing have formed new prospects for the relations between China and Denmark. Queen Margrethe II paid a state visit to China in April at Xi's invitation.

For his part, Sorensen said the Danish side stands ready to share experience with China on preventing and fighting corruption.
