National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man has requested placing institutional reform at the centre of national development, stressing that refinement of institutions and laws is a strategic breakthrough for the country’s advancement.

One of the key highlights of the World Governments Summit 2026 was a high-level roundtable session on models of institutional reform and public governance from national, regional, and global perspectives. Director of the Viet Nam Academy of Public Administration and Governance Nguyen Ba Chien attended and delivered remarks at the roundtable.

A national ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the country’s first general election took place in Ha Noi on January 6, featuring a keynote speech by Party General Secretary To Lam.

The Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress emphasised that building and refining the legal system is one of the three strategic breakthroughs designed to generate fresh momentum for the country’s rapid and sustainable development.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, who heads the Steering Committee for reviewing and untangling knots in the legal document system, affirmed three objectives in legal review while chairing the committee's sixth meeting in Ha Noi on September 20.

Ambassadors and representatives of Viet Nam’s diplomatic missions abroad have expressed strong support, enthusiasm, pride, and a firm commitment to join hands with the Vietnamese people in realising its “strategic transformation” and ushering the country into a new era of growth and prosperity.

On June 16, 2025, with unanimous approval from 100% of participating deputies, the National Assembly adopted a resolution amending key provisions of the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. This marks a historic milestone, opening a new chapter of deep institutional reform to meet the requirements of development in the era of integration and renewal.
