Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh

The PM said that law making is one of the tasks in implementing three strategic breakthroughs set forth by the 13th National Party Congress, including the institutional breakthrough. Based on the actual situation and requirements, the Government has held monthly meetings on law-making in order to institutionalize and bring the Party's guidelines to life.

Legislation must promote socialist democracy, build a rule-of-law socialist state, and step up international integration, he emphasized.

According to the Prime Minister, laws must be built in the spirit of decentralisation, in which the Government and ministries are responsible for State management, building strategies, planning, mechanisms and policies, allocating resources, and strengthening supervision and inspection. Legislation must put people and businesses as the centre, and harmoniously mitigate the interests and responsibilities between the State, the market, and society

'In addition to improving the quality of institution building, we need to improve the quality of law enforcement, and focus on communication and education on law to the public. The public and enterprises are the center and the master of development. That’s why our policies must focus on the people and their enterprises and help them overcome obstacles to participate in this process.' said the Prime Minister.
