Deputy Minister of Justice Nguyen Khanh Ngoc speaks at the forum. |
In his opening remarks, Deputy Minister of Justice Nguyen Khanh Ngoc said building and perfecting a rule-of-law socialist state of the people, by the people, and for the people led by the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) is the central task of reforming the political system in the process of comprehensive renovation of the country, deep and effective international integration, and sustainable socio-economic development.
This is a consistent policy of the Vietnamese Party and State in recent years, he added.
The Resolution on continuing to build and complete the Vietnamese socialist rule-of-law state in the new period issued in November last year is a basis for creating unity in awareness and actions of all relevant agencies, organizations, and individuals to continue improving the effectiveness and efficiency of implementing assigned responsibilities and tasks, he said.
In addition to promoting the roles and responsibilities of agencies, organizations, and each civil servant and public employee, the assistance and support of international friends is also an important factor contributing to creating more strength and resources for Vietnam to achieve expected results in its efforts to build and perfect a socialist rule-of-law state, the official said.
Ramla Khalidi, UNDP Resident Representative in Vietnam, spoke highly of Vietnam's efforts in building institutions, and building and perfecting a socialist rule-of-law state, saying that the UNDP Vietnam will continue to support the country in building capacity and strengthening institutions, equal access to justice, and promoting gender equality and safe migration.
