Promoting the role of "being one step ahead in terms of institutions", promptly responding to practical requirements
Through the discussions of agencies, organizations and opinions of National Assembly deputies, experts and scientists, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh emphasized that the First Law-making Forum had high consensus on many important contents and comments:
Firstly, the legislative activities of the 15th National Assembly have had strong innovations in thinking and construction processes, being proactive, creative, active, preparing early, promoting the role of "being one step ahead in terms of institutions", responding promptly to new situations, meeting the requirements of practical life.

The policies issued focus on people and businesses, actively remove difficulties and obstacles, contribute to liberating production capacity, mobilizing and effectively using all resources for the cause of national development.
In particular, in recent sessions, the Law projects passed by the National Assembly have been concise and clear, only regulating issues under the authority of the National Assembly, giving proactive and flexible authority, creating favorable conditions for the Government in the implementation process; promoting decentralization, delegation of power, and reforming administrative procedures. These results have contributed significantly to the comprehensive achievements in socio-economic development, national defense, security, and foreign affairs of the country in recent times.
Second, our country's legal system has been increasingly improved in recent times, achieving some outstanding results such as:
The work of building and perfecting the law on the organization of state agencies in the direction of streamlining, efficiency, effectiveness, and efficiency, promoting decentralization and delegation of powers, and implementing the organization of a two-level local government model according to the Party's policy ensures speed, synchronization, and systematization, creating a solid legal foundation for the formation of a two-level local government model, associated with strong and synchronous decentralization and delegation of powers, creating initiative for agencies and organizations in organizing implementation.

The work of building and perfecting institutions on science, technology, innovation and digital transformation has had many important breakthroughs. The laws and resolutions that have been issued have promptly removed "barriers" and "bottlenecks", creating an open legal corridor for the development of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation, unlocking financial and budgetary resources, and strongly supporting the science, technology and innovation ecosystem.

The legal framework for a socialist-oriented market economy continues to be improved in the direction of facilitating business investment, unlocking social resources, promoting economic development, especially digital economy, green economy, circular economy... to suit reality, meeting the development requirements of a socialist-oriented market economy and international integration.
The work of perfecting the law on culture and society has contributed to perfecting the institution, building and developing an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity; creating a solid legal corridor to develop high-quality human resources, enhancing national competitiveness, promoting international integration in education; improving the capacity of the health system, developing the pharmaceutical industry, basic medicine and preventive medicine, while ensuring social security and people's rights in accessing quality health care services.
The legal system on national defense, security and foreign affairs has been constantly improved, contributing to maintaining political stability, creating favorable conditions for the country's socio-economic development, and international integration has continuously developed in both breadth and depth.
Power is not fully controlled, responsibility is not clearly and transparently defined.
Besides the outstanding results, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh also pointed out that the work of building and perfecting institutions still has many shortcomings and limitations such as: the law still has a situation where power is not fully controlled, and responsibilities are not clearly and transparently defined.
"For many years, decentralization and delegation of power have always been considered the focus of administrative reform, but the results have not been as expected. New regulations on science and technology development, innovation, and national digital transformation lack some detailed instructions, leading to confusion in the implementation process," said the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly.

The legal system on investment and business still has overlapping, contradictory and unclear regulations, and legal risks for businesses, especially in the field of long-term investment. The current legal system still lacks stability and predictability; the issuance and amendment of legal documents take place with high frequency, often without full impact assessment, causing difficulties for the implementing subjects and for businesses in developing production and business plans and long-term strategic planning.

Institutions and policies in the cultural field are still slow to innovate; some policies in the social field have not kept up with economic development. Policies on training and human resource development have not had breakthrough innovations to meet the needs of society and the labor market; there is still a situation of "too many teachers, not enough workers" in human resource development. Some policies in the fields of pharmaceutical management, medical equipment, health insurance and health socialization still lack consistency.
Focus on comprehensively perfecting and synchronizing institutions for rapid and sustainable development
Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh stated at the Forum, Agencies, organizations, delegates and experts have proposed 5 groups of tasks and solutions, both general and specific and very practical, to continue perfecting the legal system in the coming time.
Firstly, continue to strongly innovate thinking, promote strategic breakthroughs, create a new development ecosystem, focus on comprehensively perfecting and synchronizing institutions for rapid and sustainable national development.
Second, the National Assembly Standing Committee focused on directing the development of the Project on Legislative Orientation for the 16th National Assembly term, ensuring consistency and unity with the Project " Perfecting the structure of Vietnam's legal system, meeting the requirements of national development in the new era" prepared by the Ministry of Justice.

Third, strengthen control over power in law-making activities, prevent group interests and local interests in policy-making, ensure that all decisions put national and ethnic interests and the interests of the people first; regularly monitor, review and evaluate the effectiveness of laws after promulgation, apply technology in receiving, responding and handling people's and businesses' feedback and recommendations related to law enforcement.
"The promulgated policies must be measurable by specific results, control risks, especially create convenience, not create additional procedures. Management by law must always be for the purpose of creating development in both law-making and law enforcement. If after a period of time the goal is not achieved, the effectiveness must be reviewed, and it may have to be abolished or amended and supplemented," the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized.
Fourth, synchronously implement breakthrough, comprehensive and drastic solutions to create fundamental changes in the quality of human resources in law-making and law enforcement, meeting the requirements of rapid and sustainable development of the country.
Fifth, in the context of digital transformation, digital economy, and digital data being applied more and more deeply in all areas of national governance, the work of perfecting institutions and laws cannot stand outside the international flow.
According to the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, currently, our legal system is still being managed and operated according to the traditional approach, while the rapid speed of promulgation of documents, the complex intertwined relationships between fields, and the increasingly large and massive volume of legal documents create great pressure on the National Assembly, the Government, ministries, branches and localities.

The issues of “overlapping - contradictions - lack of unity - slow issuance of guidance documents” are always among the leading causes of difficulties in law enforcement, hindering the investment and business environment, increasing compliance costs and reducing the forecasting capacity of the economy.
"These bottlenecks cannot be solved by simply amending each law or perfecting traditional legislative techniques. It is necessary to change the state governance mindset from "drafting legal documents" to "designing and managing the legal system," the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly pointed out.
In that spirit, the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly said that it is necessary to continue researching the application of information technology and digital transformation in law-making to help Vietnam's legal system be promulgated and operated transparently, access advanced international methods, ensure more smoothness and efficiency as proposed by experts, scientists and discussions on the issue of "building machine-readable laws", considering this an institutional breakthrough in the creation and administration of national laws.
Within a very short time frame, the Forum took place in a quality, exciting, attractive and engaging manner with a lot of rich and useful information and profound, responsible and frank opinions.
Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh assessed that the Forum has truly become a multi-dimensional and comprehensive information center, a place to share the voices of agencies participating in law-making at the central level, law enforcement agencies, localities, research institutes, universities, experts and scientists.
The contents discussed at the Forum significantly contributed to the work of summarizing the term of the 15th National Assembly, as well as preparing to build legislative orientations for the 16th National Assembly and innovating law-making work during the 16th National Assembly term, associated with innovating the structure of the Vietnamese legal system, meeting the requirements of national development in the new era.
The forum also discussed the spirit of the National Assembly accompanying the Government, local authorities, other agencies and organizations in the political system to jointly develop the country according to the Party's guidelines and policies.
Immediately after the Forum, the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly said that the Forum Organizing Committee will compile a summary report with full results of the Forum and send it to the National Assembly, the Government, the Central and local Committees, Ministries, branches to promptly serve the summary of the term, research and development of legislative orientations for the 16th National Assembly term and the legislative program for the following years, research and reference in the process of amending legal regulations in general as well as in the process of planning policies, guidelines and orientations for socio-economic development, first of all laws, resolutions and policy mechanisms right in the 10th session of the National Assembly.
