On the afternoon of November 3 in Hanoi, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui The Duy worked with the Interdisciplinary Inspection Team on the work of inspecting, reviewing, systematizing and processing legal documents, headed by Deputy Minister of Justice Phan Chi Hieu.

At the working session, reporting to the Inspection Team, the representative of the Ministry of Science and Technology said that since before the merger, the work of building, inspecting and reviewing legal documents has always been identified by the Ministry as a key task, carried out professionally, in accordance with procedures and authority, thereby ensuring the unity, transparency and stability of the sector's institutions.

Every year, the Ministry of Science and Technology issues a plan to inspect and review documents to evaluate their effectiveness and efficiency, and at the same time publicizes the list of documents on the electronic information portal.

In the period of 2019 - 2023, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued two plans to systematize documents for both the fields of Science and Technology and Information and Communications.

According to statistics, from 2022 to October 15, 2025, the Ministry of Science and Technology self-checked 149 circulars issued by the Ministry and found no errors. The Ministry also checked 761 documents under its authority, thereby promptly detecting and handling contents that did not ensure the consistency and synchronization of the legal system.

Regarding the recommendations of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Science and Technology has proactively reviewed, revised, supplemented or abolished inappropriate regulations; at the same time, requested relevant units to learn from experience, improve responsibility and quality in the process of drafting documents.

The representative of the Ministry of Science and Technology emphasized that the Ministry always seriously performs assigned tasks and promptly handles documents with signs of errors; but also frankly admits that implementation resources are still limited, while the specialized nature of the field of science and technology makes the work of detecting and handling errors not really timely.

Currently, the Ministry of Science and Technology is focusing on developing documents detailing the implementation of 5 laws passed by the National Assembly at the 9th Session, and at the same time preparing for the implementation of 5 new laws expected to be passed at the 10th Session. The Ministry will continue to regularly review the system of circulars and guidance documents, ensuring the synchronization and unity of the legal system of the science and technology sector.
