In the field of lawmaking, the Committee successfully advised the National Assembly to issue Resolution No. 193/2025/QH15 on piloting a number of mechanisms and policies to remove obstacles in national science, technology, innovation and digital transformation activities.

This Resolution strongly institutionalizes the spirit of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. It is groundbreaking, reflecting the strategic vision of the Party and State in creating a transparent legal framework, unlocking all resources for science, technology, and innovation, promoting strong digital transformation, and leading Vietnam into a new era of national progress.

Furthermore, the Committee also advised the National Assembly to successfully enact the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation. This is a particularly important law, built on a foundation of new thinking, expanding its scope to include the field of innovation. The law has reformed the management methods of science and technology activities, piloting mechanisms for controlling new technologies, processes, solutions, products, services, and business models. The Law on Science, Technology and Innovation is a solid foundation for creating a dynamic and effective national innovation ecosystem, directly contributing to economic growth and improving the quality of life for the people.

The Committee also chaired the review and revision of 26 draft laws and resolutions, and participated in the coordinated review of 210 draft laws, submissions, and reports of the Government, which were voted on by the National Assembly with a high percentage, making an important contribution to perfecting the legal system and promoting socio-economic development.
