Also attending were Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long, Permanent Deputy Head of the Steering Committee; leaders of ministries, branches and central agencies who are members of the Steering Committee.

Speaking at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that institutions are one of the three strategic breakthroughs, recently identified as “breakthroughs of breakthroughs” and “bottlenecks of bottlenecks”. Therefore, the Party’s policy, headed by General Secretary To Lam, is to turn legal bottlenecks into national competitive advantages.

According to the Prime Minister, in the development process, many problems have not been fully predicted, laws have not covered all aspects of life, or there have been regulations but practice has overcome them.

Therefore, it is necessary to perfect according to the motto "what is ripe, clear, proven correct in practice, agreed by the majority, and effectively implemented, then proceed to legislate; what is not ripe, unclear, then put into sub-law documents to regulate, expand as we go, gradually perfect, not perfectionist, not hasty".

Therefore, General Secretary To Lam requested to closely follow the goals of Resolution 66-NQ/TW of the Politburo, the basic requirement is to complete the removal of "bottlenecks" due to legal regulations in 2025 and "cannot delay any further".

The Prime Minister said that the Government Party Committee will continue to direct and synchronously implement solutions to improve the quality of document review, drafting, appraisal, and examination of projects and draft legal documents; continue to improve review results, ensuring accurate identification of solutions to handle difficulties and problems received in the past time.
