National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man has urged the NA’s Committee for National Defence, Security and External Relations to accelerate reforms in legislative thinking, improve law-making quality, and strengthen oversight of international commitments and parliamentary diplomacy in the remaining months of 2026.

After one year of implementation, Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW dated April 30, 2025, issued by the Politburo on reforming law-making and law enforcement to meet the country’s development requirements in the new era, has gradually begun to reshape both the drafting and enforcement of laws, serving as proof of a deep institutional reform aimed at fostering development.

National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man has called for stronger coordination between the National Assembly's Standing Committee and the Viet Nam Fatherland Front (VFF) in law-making, supervision, and social feedback activities in 2026.

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.
