INSTITUTIONAL, LEGAL BREAKTHROUGHS FOR NATION’S RISE

To Lam

General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee

Throughout the course of leading the Vietnamese revolution, our Party has always deeply recognised the vital role of institutions bet88 net laws in the development of the country. At the same time, the Party has introduced numerous guidelines bet88 net policies aimed at improving the institutional bet88 net legal framework in accordance with each historical period, bet88 net has achieved many important results. Theoretical mindset bet88 net awareness about the socialist rule-of-law state have been continuously improved. Our country has developed a relatively comprehensive, public, transparent, bet88 net accessible legal system that fundamentally regulates all aspects of social life, including the Constitution, major codes bet88 net laws in civil affairs, business, trade, administration, criminal affairs, litigation, bet88 net dispute solution, along with approximately 300 other valid laws bet88 net legal codes, creating a legal foundation for socio-economic development, national defence bet88 net security assurance, bet88 net international integration. It can be affirmed that over the past 80 years, since the establishment of the worker-peasant state, under the leadership of the Party, our country has achieved independence, reunification, freedom, democracy, peace, stability, bet88 net development because we have had the Constitution bet88 net have successfully implemented the Constitution bet88 net laws.

However, we should frankly acknowledge that the work of law-making bet88 net law enforcement still faces numerous limitations bet88 net shortcomings. Some of the Party’s policies bet88 net orientations have not been institutionalised in a timely bet88 net comprehensive manner. The mindset of law-building in certain areas remains overly focused on management. The quality of laws has not kept up with practical requirements. There are still overlapping, contradictory, bet88 net unclear regulations that hinder implementation bet88 net are not conducive to fostering innovation, attracting bet88 net unlocking investment resources. The decentralisation bet88 net delegation of authority are not strong enough; administrative procedures remain cumbersome bet88 net “full of twists bet88 net turns”; bet88 net compliance costs remain high. Law enforcement continues to be a weak link, lacking timely bet88 net effective policy response mechanisms. The research bet88 net issuance of policies bet88 net laws to address emerging issues are slow, bet88 net the legal framework has yet to create favourable conditions to promote new drivers of growth.

Currently, the world is undergoing epochal changes with rapid, complicated, unpredictable bet88 net difficult-to-forecast developments. Along with that, the scientific bet88 net technological revolution is opening up boundless development space grounded on knowledge bet88 net human potential. Domestically, after nearly 40 years of implementing the Doi Moi (Renewal) cause, our country has achieved great bet88 net historically significant accomplishments. From a poor, backward country heavily devastated by war, besieged bet88 net isolated, Vietnam has now become a development model for many countries in the world, "everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, bet88 net access to education". In 2024, Vietnam’s economy ranked 32nd in the world. Economic, political, cultural, social, scientific - technological, national defence bet88 net security capacities have been continuously strengthened. Foreign relations have expanded, bet88 net the nation’s international position bet88 net prestige have been steadily enhanced.

To realise the nation's aspiration to rise up, we must address numerous tasks, among which a very central priority is to continue improving institutions bet88 net laws to fully unleash productive forces, unlock all available resources, harness the country’s potential bet88 net strengths, bet88 net seize every development opportunity. Therefore, along with the ongoing revolution on streamlining the organisational apparatus bet88 net striving for “double-digit” economic growth, the work of law-making bet88 net law enforcement must undergo a fundamental transformation. In response to this requirement, on April 30, 2025, amidst the solemn bet88 net heroic atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of national reunification, the Political Bureau issued Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW on “Renovating the law making bet88 net enforcement process to meet the national development requirements in the new era” - a particularly important thematic resolution containing many strategic decisions. The main objectives of the Resolution are to build a truly democratic, equitable, safe, bet88 net transparent society where the people are truly the masters of the country, making decisions on major national matters; to manage bet88 net govern a modern society; to create development; bet88 net to improve all aspects of life for the people, bet88 net firmly protect the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland.

The Resolution sets the target that, by 2030, Vietnam will have a democratic, equitable, synchronic, unified, transparent, bet88 net feasible legal system, supported by a strict bet88 net consistent enforcement mechanism that will ensure a solid legal foundation for the normal, uninterrupted, bet88 net smooth operation of agencies after the apparatus restructuring; solve obstacles arising from reality; pave the way for development creation; bet88 net mobilise all citizens bet88 net businesses to participate in socio-economic development so that by 2030, Vietnam will become a developing country with modern industry bet88 net upper-middle income. In 2025, the “bottlenecks” caused by legal regulations will be fundamentally solved. By 2027, the amendments, supplements, bet88 net issuance of new legal documents will be completed to ensure a synchronic legal foundation for the operation of the state apparatus under a three-level administration model. By 2028, the system of laws on investment bet88 net business will be perfected to help Vietnam’s investment environment rank among the top three in ASEAN. By 2045, Vietnam will have a high-quality, modern legal system that approaches advanced international standards bet88 net practices bet88 net is suitable for the country's reality bet88 net will be enforced strictly bet88 net consistently, respect, ensure bet88 net effectively protect human rights bet88 net civil rights. Respecting the Constitution bet88 net the law will become the standard of conduct for all subjects in society, along with modern national governance with a streamlined, efficient, bet88 net effective state apparatus.

According to Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW, the reform of law making bet88 net enforcement in the coming period should closely follow five guiding principles, with the top priority being to "ensure the Party's comprehensive bet88 net direct leadership in the law-making work bet88 net strengthen the Party’s leadership in law enforcement.” The Resolution also defines “law making bet88 net enforcement as the ‘breakthrough of breakthroughs’ in improving the national development institutions in the new era; bet88 net as a key task in the process of building bet88 net perfecting the Vietnamese socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, bet88 net for the people, bet88 net under the Party’s leadership.” The Resolution emphasises that law-making must closely follow reality bet88 net be “grounded on Vietnam’s practical conditions,” selectively absorb the quintessence of human values, ensure systematicity, seize all opportunities, pave the way, bet88 net unlock all available resources. Institutions bet88 net laws should become a competitive advantage, a solid foundation, bet88 net a powerful driving force for development, creating room for double-digit economic growth, improve people's living standards, bet88 net ensure national defence, security, bet88 net foreign affairs. The Resolution highlights the improvement of the effectiveness of law enforcement, with a focus on fostering a culture of legal compliance. It affirms that investing in the policy bet88 net law-making work is an investment in development.

To bring Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW to life bet88 net achieve tangible results, the entire Party, people, bet88 net army must thoroughly grasp bet88 net effectively carry out the tasks bet88 net solutions in the Resolution, especially the following key tasks bet88 net solutions:

First, it is a must to ensure the Party’s comprehensive bet88 net direct leadership in law-making, while fully promoting Party characteristics in law building bet88 net enforcement. Party committees at all levels must comprehensively bet88 net directly lead the institutionalisation of the Party’s guidelines bet88 net policies into laws, bet88 net strengthen the inspection bet88 net supervision of this process. Each official bet88 net Party member must set an example, take the lead in complying with bet88 net adhering to the law, bet88 net spread the spirit of respecting the Constitution bet88 net law. It is essential to identify the building bet88 net improvement of institutions bet88 net laws, as well as the inspection bet88 net supervision of law enforcement, as a key bet88 net regular task for ministries bet88 net centrally-run agencies. The heads of ministries bet88 net ministerial agencies must take direct leadership bet88 net oversight of law-making activities bet88 net be primarily responsible for the quality of policies bet88 net laws within their ministries or agencies’ jurisdiction.

Second, it is necessary to renew the mindset bet88 net orientation of law-making in a way that both ensures state management bet88 net encourages creativity, unleashes all production potential, bet88 net unlocks all resources for development. Law-making must fully, correctly, bet88 net promptly institutionalise the Party’s guidelines bet88 net policies; be based on the overall interests of the country; decisively abandon the mindset of "if it can't be controlled, then ban it"; promote democracy, bet88 net respect, ensure, bet88 net effectively protect human rights bet88 net citizens' rights; bet88 net ensure a balance between the restriction of rights bet88 net the legitimate benefits achieved. Law provisions must be stable, simple bet88 net easy to implement, bet88 net place people bet88 net businesses at the centre. Emphasis should be placed on proactively studying strategies bet88 net policies early, based on practical experience bet88 net global knowledge, contributing to enhancing predictability bet88 net improving the quality of law-making. Alongside certain codes bet88 net laws regulating human rights, citizens' rights, bet88 net judicial procedures that need to be specific, other laws, particularly those governing development-related matters, should primarily set out framework issues bet88 net principles within the scope of the National Assembly’s authority. Meanwhile, practical bet88 net frequently changing matters should be assigned to the Government, ministries, agencies, bet88 net localities to regulate, ensuring flexibility bet88 net alignment with reality.

In the short term, it is necessary to focus on building a favourable, open, transparent, safe legal environment with a low compliance cost; thoroughly reduce bet88 net simplify unreasonable investment, business, professional practice conditions bet88 net administrative procedures; bet88 net promote innovative startups while improving the investment bet88 net business environment. It is a need to ensure the genuine freedom to do business, the right to property, bet88 net the freedom of contract; equality between businesses of all economic sectors; bet88 net recognise the private economic sector as the most important driving force of the national economy. Focus should be placed on developing laws related to science, technology, innovation, bet88 net digital transformation. Urgent actions are needed to amend bet88 net supplement legal documents to meet the requirements of streamlining the organisational structure of the political system, restructuring administrative units, while maximising decentralisation bet88 net delegation of authority based on the principle "localities decide, localities implement, localities take responsibility," bet88 net restructuring new development spaces in each area. Another task is to develop bet88 net improve the laws on the organisation bet88 net operation of judicial bet88 net judicial support agencies in line with the goals bet88 net directions of judicial reform.

Third, breakthroughs should be created in law enforcement. It is important to strongly promote the spirit of serving the public, a development-oriented mindset, bet88 net actions for the common good among officials, civil servants, bet88 net public employees. Effective law enforcement needs to be prioritised to promote socio-economic development, science, technology, innovation, digital transformation, bet88 net other vital areas of the public. Focus should be given to building a culture of legal compliance, bet88 net ensuring the rule of Constitution bet88 net the law become the standard of conduct for all subjects in society. It is necessary to pay due attention to legal interpretation bet88 net guidance on law implementation. While dialogue as well as the reception bet88 net openness to feedback bet88 net recommendations should be increased, law-related difficulties bet88 net problems facing individuals, organisations, businesses, bet88 net localities be promptly resolved. In addition, it is a need to regularly evaluate the effectiveness of laws after their promulgation, promote the application of technology, bet88 net build a mechanism for identifying promptly, handling comprehensively bet88 net synchronously, bet88 net removing "bottlenecks" caused by legal regulations as soon as possible.

Fourth, the effectiveness of international legal cooperation bet88 net international law needs to be improved. The capacity of Vietnamese agencies bet88 net organisations must be enhanced to ensure the full implementation of international legal obligations. The country should efficiently participate in the building of international institutions bet88 net laws, along with the shaping of the international legal order. Emerging international legal issues need to be efficiently handled, especially those involving international investment bet88 net trade disputes. A special mechanism should be implemented to attract, recruit, train, bet88 net foster highly qualified human resources with practical experience in international law bet88 net international legal cooperation, along with in resolving international disputes; while a strategy be developed to increase the presence of Vietnamese experts in international legal organisations bet88 net international jurisdiction bodies. International cooperation in legal bet88 net judicial affairs also need to be expanded.

Fifth, breakthrough solutions should be carried out to improve the quality of legal human resources; digital transformation accelerated, artificial intelligence (AI) bet88 net big data applied, bet88 net a special financial mechanism established for law making bet88 net enforcement activities. It is necessary to implement specific bet88 net outstanding policies while applying appropriate remuneration bet88 net contract regimes to attract bet88 net improve the quality of human resources participating in law-making bet88 net enforcement tasks. More attention should be paid to improving the quality of strategy, policy, bet88 net law research institutions of central agencies. Resources should be prioritised for building bet88 net developing information technology infrastructure bet88 net big data systems, as well as applying digital technology bet88 net AI to serve the innovation bet88 net modernisation of law making bet88 net enforcement. The project on building a big legal database bet88 net the one on applying AI to the building, checking bet88 net review of legal documents must be immediately implemented. It is important to reform the mechanism for allocating, managing, bet88 net using the budget for law-making activities on the principle of timeliness, accuracy, bet88 net adequacy, bet88 net to associate spending with the results bet88 net products of each task bet88 net activity. A fund should be established to support the building of policies bet88 net laws.

Quality institutions bet88 net laws, consistent with development requirements in reality bet88 net the aspirations of the people, are the decisive factors for the success of each nation. Therefore, for the country to advance bet88 net develop strongly, we must resolutely say “no” to any institutional bet88 net legal limitations or shortcomings; make no compromise with any weaknesses in policy design, law drafting, or enforcement. With the mettle bet88 net valuable experiences that the Party has accumulated over 95 years of leading the nation's revolution, the experiences gained during 80 years of leading the State in institutional bet88 net legal building, especially during 40 years of carrying out the Doi moi (Renewal) process, together with the participation of the entire political system bet88 net the support of the whole people, we will certainly succeed in reforming the building bet88 net enforcement of laws, helping the country progress into a new era – one of prosperity, civilisation, prosperity bet88 net development, building our country "ten times better than it is today" as Uncle Ho once wished.
