Opening the session, PM Chinh expressed his deep sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims, especially those who lost loved ones or sacrificed their lives in Typhoon Yagi and subsequent floods.
He highly appreciated the efforts of the local party committees, authorities and armed forces, and people nationwide in coping with the typhoon and flooding, and highlighted numerous acts of solidarity that reflect national unity and brotherhood during these difficult times.
The PM emphasised that building and perfecting institutional frameworks is the most important breakthrough and a driving force and resource for development. In this context, promptly addressing difficulties, obstacles, and institutional bottlenecks, as well as tapping into all potential and unlocking all resources for socio-economic development is the top priority of the Government and the Prime Minister in leadership, direction, and management, he said.
He noted that the September law-making session, the ninth in 2024, will consider and give opinions towards the approval of five draft laws and proposals, including the draft Law on Public Investment (amended); the draft Law on amendments and supplements to some articles of the Law on Planning, Law on Investment, Law on Public-Private Partnership Investment, and Law on Bidding; the draft Law on amendments and supplements to some articles of the Law on State Budget, Law on Management and Use of Public Assets, Law on National Reserves, Law on Accounting, Law on Independent Auditing, Law on Securities, and Law on Tax Administration; and the proposals on building the Law on Journalism (amended) and the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents (revised).
The Government leader stressed that amending and supplementing these five laws is highly necessary.
Noting that there is a huge volume of work that needs to be done, PM Chinh requested ministers and heads of ministerial-level agencies to provide straightforward ideas, and focus on discussing important issues and those with different opinions to ensure the progress and quality of the session.
