On the morning of October 21, speaking at the opening session, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized that the 8th session of the 15th National Assembly is the session with the largest workload since the beginning of the term and is also the first session responsible for institutionalizing the resolution of the 10th Central Committee of the 13th tenure, urgently bringing the Party's policies into practice and solving many other important issues of the country.
To create the premise to immediately prepare in all aspects to enter the new era - the Era of the Vietnamese people's rise, on behalf of the Party and State leaders, General Secretary and President To Lam sent to the leaders, former leaders of the Party, State, Vietnam Fatherland Front, National Assembly deputies, distinguished guests, representatives of the Diplomatic Corps, international organizations attending the Opening Session of the Session and all voters, people, compatriots, soldiers nationwide, our compatriots abroad greetings, wishes for health, happiness and success, and wishes for the Session to be a great success.
General Secretary and President To Lam said that the 10th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee had just been a great success. The Politburo and the Secretariat also held a national conference at the grassroots level to disseminate and implement the Resolution of the 10th Central Conference. With a spirit of innovation, solidarity and unity, the 10th Central Conference discussed and decided on many important contents, unified awareness and action to focus on leadership, direction, acceleration, breakthroughs, and completion of the goals and tasks of the 13th Congress term, and preparation for the 14th Party Congress.
General Secretary and President To Lam highly appreciated that the activities of the National Assembly have undergone many substantial and more effective innovations in recent times. The National Assembly has increasingly promoted its role as the highest representative body of the people, the highest State power body, with three important functions.
Regarding legislation, since the beginning of the term, the National Assembly has passed 43 laws and more than 60 Resolutions. The National Assembly Standing Committee has also issued 45 Resolutions and 03 Ordinances. In this 8th Session, the National Assembly is expected to continue to pass 15 draft laws, 03 Resolutions on legal norms and give opinions on 13 draft laws, including 01 law amending 03 laws in the field of investment; 01 law amending 07 laws in the field of finance and asset management. There are very new draft laws in line with development trends such as the Data Law, the Digital Technology Industry Law... demonstrating the National Assembly's high sense of responsibility.
The Government also urgently disseminated and immediately implemented the policies of the 10th Central Conference. These documents will contribute significantly to perfecting the legal system, removing difficulties and obstacles, overcoming bottlenecks, adjusting aspects of economic and social life to ensure human rights and serve national development.
The National Assembly's supervisory activities have also been constantly improved, focusing on pressing issues of life, contributing to the improvement of legal policies, ensuring discipline, and promoting state agencies to better perform their tasks. The National Assembly has also accompanied the Government in deciding to promptly issue many important policies and guidelines, which are of great significance to the country's socio-economic development. The National Assembly's foreign affairs have also been expanded with many outstanding activities, the National Assembly has been elected to many important positions in major and prestigious forums in the world...
However, the General Secretary also pointed out that there are still shortcomings in the organization and operation of the National Assembly that need to be overcome soon. Of the three biggest bottlenecks today: institutions, infrastructure and human resources, institutions are the bottleneck of bottlenecks.
Along with that, the quality of law making and improvement has not met practical requirements; some newly issued laws have had to be amended; regulations are not really consistent and overlap; many regulations are still difficult, hindering implementation, causing waste of resources; and have not created a truly favorable environment to attract resources from domestic and foreign investors.
Law and policy enforcement is still a weak link; decentralization and delegation of power are not thorough, responsibilities are not clear; the arrangement and consolidation of the state administrative apparatus to be streamlined, effective and efficient, reducing focal points and intermediate levels is still inadequate... A part is still cumbersome, overlapping between the legislative and executive branches; not really meeting the requirements of improving the effectiveness of state management... The General Secretary and President emphasized that this is the responsibility of the political system, but a great responsibility rests on the shoulders of the National Assembly, the agencies of the National Assembly, the National Assembly deputies and the Government.
To meet the country's development requirements in the new era, General Secretary and President To Lam proposed that the National Assembly continue to strongly innovate its organization and operations in the spirit of Resolution 27 dated November 9, 2022 of the 6th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee on continuing to build and perfect the socialist rule-of-law state of Vietnam in the new period. In particular, focusing on emphasizing 03 issues:
Firstly, strongly innovate legislative work, including transforming the thinking of law-making towards both ensuring the requirements of state management and encouraging creativity, liberating all productive forces, and unlocking all resources for development. Legal provisions are stable and have long-term value; the law only regulates framework issues, issues of principle, and frequently changing practical issues are assigned to the Government and localities to regulate, to ensure flexibility in management. Absolutely do not administrativeize the activities of the National Assembly, legalize the provisions of decrees and circulars.
Innovate the process of building and organizing the implementation of laws, closely follow reality to build legal regulations, learn from experience while doing, do not be hasty but also do not be perfectionist to lose opportunities, take people and businesses as the center.
Second, better perform the function of supreme supervision and decide on important issues of the country. It is necessary to promptly study and clearly define the methods and forms of supreme supervision of the National Assembly, in accordance with reality, to avoid overlapping with the activities of other state agencies, causing waste. Continue to improve the quality of questioning, explaining, and supervising legal documents, focusing on monitoring, reviewing, and urging the implementation of recommendations after supervision.
Innovate the state budget decision-making process, ensure substance, and monitor budget implementation; gradually replace the issuance of resolutions with laws on finance and budget, etc.
Third, strongly innovate the organization and activities of the National Assembly to ensure effective and efficient operations, improve the quality and efficiency of the implementation of the duties and powers of National Assembly deputies; consider this one of the key factors to innovate the activities of the National Assembly. The activities of the National Assembly, the agencies of the National Assembly, and National Assembly deputies must be in the right roles, know their lessons, clearly define the functions and tasks of the relationship between agencies, especially the agencies of the National Assembly and the Government, ensuring closeness and harmony in the national governance process.
The National Assembly and its deputies need to be highly unified, take the lead as exemplary models, and make positive and important contributions to institutional building and national development, with a spirit of innovation and reform, wholeheartedly serving the Fatherland and the People...
Emphasizing that the world is in a period of epochal change, the country is also standing at the historical door to enter a new era - the era of national development; the country's burning reality is posing urgent issues that need to be resolved, the people are waiting and expecting the decisions of the Party, the State, the National Assembly, the General Secretary and President requested the National Assembly, the National Assembly agencies, and the National Assembly deputies to promote the spirit of solidarity, responsibility, innovation, breakthrough, and excellently fulfill their responsibilities, contributing to the entire Union, the entire people, and the entire army to unite and strive to soon successfully build a socialist Vietnam, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers as the wish of the great President Ho Chi Minh and the aspiration of the entire nation.
