In his closing speech, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long underscored the importance of these draft laws, highlighting their roles in enhancing judicial cooperation in criminal matters, facilitating the extradition and the effective transfer of sentenced persons, while also improving swift and effective response to emergency situations.
The bills also seek to strengthen state management over product and goods quality, develop railway infrastructure, including high-speed and urban rail systems; protect personal data, and uphold the legitimate rights and interests of organizations and individuals. These efforts align with international legal standards and are set to drive socio-economic growth, he said.

Commending the insightful, responsible and practical contributions from cabinet members, he directed the ministries responsible for the draft laws to incorporate feedback and accelerate the finalization process in accordance with the Law on the Promulgation of Legal Documents, which must be submitted to the Prime Minister before being presented to the National Assembly at its 9th session in May.
Ministries were tasked with ensuring the legislation is coherent, free of overlaps, and aligned with Vietnam's international commitments. The goal is to create concise laws that promote decentralization, clearly define responsibilities, and streamline administrative procedures.
