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.

Legislative thinking needs to shift from a mindset of “pre-approval” and “absolute safety” towards proactively accepting risks in a controlled manner; stepping up the application of science and technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in law-making. These ideas have attracted considerable attention from experts and the public.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on September 13 chaired the Government’s second thematic session on law-making in September to give opinions on 10 draft laws and one draft National Assembly resolution, scheduled for submission to the legislature at its upcoming 10th session.

According to the government leader, the laws must be timely, practical, legally sound, and built on real-world needs.
