Vietnamese state president, deputy prime ministers and ministers will join regular on-line dialogues with the public on corruption, bureaucracy, wastefulness, and other controversial issues, local newspaper Vietnam News reported Tuesday.

The first on-line dialogue is expected to take place in November, the paper quoted Dao Duy Quat, deputy head of the Commission on Ideological and Cultural Affairs under the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC), as saying.

The dialogues, which will be held twice a month, and then once a week, will help party and state officials give supplemental policies and concrete guidance on contested issues, he said.

"One-way information is no longer suitable.. We must make ideological work more persuasive on both ends to enhance socialist democracy in our society," he noted.
