Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the Government’s monthly law-building session on July 24, with the investment policy for the high-speed North - South railway among the issues under discussion.
Opening the event, PM Chinh and officials observed a minute of silence in commemoration of President Ho Chi Minh, the heroes and soldiers falling down for the Fatherland, and Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day (July 27, 1947 - 2024).
PM Chinh said institutional building and perfection form one of the three strategic breakthroughs targeted by the Party and State. The Government also views this as a focal task that has been carried out strongly and comprehensively to obtain many outstanding results.
Stressing the principle of ensuring the progress and quality of law building, he requested that legal regulations boost the decentralisation of power and the allocation of resources; tools be designed to monitor, examine, prevent, and combat corruption and negative phenomena during the law building process; and administrative procedures be streamlined while bureaucracy and compliance cost be reduced for people and businesses.
Besides, legal rules must be built in a way that capitalises on every resource in society for national development, he went on.
