They said such research will help meet the practical need of protecting State interests, as government agencies and state-owned enterprises are facing growing legal risks related to foreign investment and trade, as well as civil, administrative, financial, asset, and land-related relationships. Public lawyers could also play a role in international treaty negotiations, policy consulting, and lawmaking, particularly in the context of a sharp rise in administrative lawsuits.
Participants agreed that it is both necessary and timely for a project on strengthening the Party's leadership over the enforcement of administrative judgments. They noted that administrative enforcement is a complex and sensitive task, especially when the parties subject to enforcement are often leaders of State administrative agencies.

Regarding a report on a pilot public feedback survey on judicial activities, members acknowledged the value of developing and implementing evaluation questionnaires. The survey results could serve as a useful information channel for Party and State agencies in shaping judicial policies that are responsive to real-life conditions and the people's expectations.
In closing, State President Luong Cuong requested relevant agencies to incorporate the committee’s feedback, finalize the projects, and report to competent authorities for consideration and implementation.
